Saskatchewan Soccer Association CEO Rahim Mohamed says fan turnout will be a sign of things to come in 2026, when Canada will be a host nation. “Soccer is the largest participation sport in Canada. It has ties to every country around the world. No matter where you are from, when you are here you get immersed in the different cultures,” said Mohamed.
