As you may know, the FIFA World Cup 2026 (FWC2026) will be jointly hosted by 16 cities across the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada. Toronto and Vancouver are the two Canadian host cities. This presents a unique leadership opportunity for Canada and both host cities to model how a successful tournament is planned and implemented to create a positive legacy that furthers human rights and reconciliation.

In Toronto, several organizations have been coming together regularly to discuss human rights risks and mitigation strategies, initiating advocacy efforts to influence the City of Toronto and FIFA on various issues, including establishing the public advisory committees. We would like to hear from a broad range of partners in Toronto about the human rights risks and opportunities associated with hosting the FWC2026 in the city.

What to expect:

• Insights from experts on the risks and opportunities of FIFA World Cup 2026.

• A collaborative discussion on strategies to mitigate risks and leverage opportunities.

• An opportunity to share your perspectives and engage with a network of professionals and community leaders.

• Gain valuable insights into the human rights implications of FWC2026.
