The mayor of Edmonton is continuing to push the provincial government to support the city's 2026 World Cup bid as his counterpart in Vancouver announced up to $5 million toward that city's efforts."We will continue to explore and continue to try to convince the province that this is good for the city, this is good for Alberta. This provides us an opportunity to a global platform to showcase what Edmonton has to offer," Sohi said.
"We don't have the capacity, the financial resources to bid without the backing of the provincial government," Sohi said. "Our ultimate goal, from the province's side, is quite frankly to make sure we have the best deal possible we can for Alberta."
