BMO Field has already undergone a big facelift since it first opened in April of 2007. Now the lakeside stadium in Toronto could play host the soccer’s biggest tournament: the World Cup.
Canada Soccer, as well as Mexico and the United States, released their list of potential stadiums for the 2026 World Cup. Canada’s list included BMO Field as well as the Rogers Centre as the other Toronto venue.
As part of a joint bid between the three nations, Canada will be hosting 10 group-stage matches. None of the stadiums below currently meet FIFA’s criteria, which includes a minimum capacity of 40,000 as well as natural grass.
