In case you've somehow missed it, the FIFA World Cup is coming to Toronto next year.
And though we don't know exactly who will be playing in Toronto yet, we do at least have many of the potential teams nailed down after Friday's preliminary draw.
After the first FIFA World Cup draw to determine the majority of group stage matches, Canada found out that they'll be playing a yet-to-qualify European opponent when their tournament kicks off on June 12, 2026.
Basically, each of the following matchups will either be played in Toronto or elsewhere, with FIFA making those deliberations over the next 48 hours.
There's a chance a country like England could play up to three matches in Toronto, should they be scheduled for two group stage games and then finish second in their group.
