Work has already started on the slimmed-down project, in conjunction with a separate 10-year plan to revamp Centennial Park in Etobicoke

The 2026 World Cup will have just one official training facility in Toronto, consisting of a new pitch and field house at Centennial Park in Etobicoke.

As for what happens to the training facility after the World Cup, Bollenbach said there have been discussions with “a couple of the pro teams in the city, so we hope that there is something that comes out of it.” The original plan called for multiple training sites in Toronto, Bollenbach said. But it was whittled down.

Work has also started on improving BMO Field, with capacity being increased to 45,000 for the tournament.
