Massachusetts Prepares to Host Games for 2026 World Cup, One Year Away

  • The 2026 FIFA World Cup one-year countdown begins on Wednesday with anniversary videos released by host cities Toronto and Vancouver.
  • This milestone follows nine years of preparation amid increased costs for Toronto, which faces a $380 million hosting bill partly due to reduced provincial funding.
  • FIFA is scheduled to take control of the stadiums hosting tournament matches in Toronto and Vancouver approximately 30 days prior to the first games, with the operational office in Toronto already functioning and the Vancouver office set to open shortly.
  • Chief Canadian tournament officer Peter Montopoli stated, "It's nine years so far on this project" and confirmed, "We know what we need to do to execute."
  • The event will feature 48 teams across 104 matches starting June 11, 2026, with ticket sales and volunteer recruitment scheduled before the tournament begins.
