The City of Toronto is launching a campaign to give Ontarians a chance to watch World Cup matches while supporting a good cause.
On Wednesday, the city announced the launch of its Soccer for All Legacy Program, a campaign that aims to help fund support for Toronto children and youth to get involved in the game by bringing in one year of free soccer programming to equity-deserving neighbourhoods.
The program aims to ensure the city’s participation in the World Cup creates long-lasting benefits for the community beyond the games. According to the city, the initiative will help create inclusive spaces, safe experiences, and free programming for youth.
As part of the campaign, Ontarians who make a donation to the program will enter a raffle to win an invitation for two to watch a FIFA World Cup 2026 match in Toronto.
