Toronto Stadium has completed all major updates ahead of the World Cup, set to host six matches in June. The venue's capacity has increased to 45,000 with a temporary seating expansion. Mayor Olivia Chow emphasized the event's significance for youth, allowing them to see relatable players. Recent upgrades include a new FIFA-regulation grass pitch and improved facilities. While temporary seating will be removed post-tournament, many infrastructure enhancements will remain for future events, marking a significant transformation of the stadium.
""The World Cup will not change who we are. It will shine a light on who we already are and for young people, this is a defining moment.""
""They will not just watch a match, they will imagine what is possible for themselves.""
""It's very, very fair to say that this stadium has been truly transformed.""
