2026 WORLD CUP

Canada hopes for football boom IN a country where ice hockey has long been king, Canada is hoping the World Cup Finals can help football carve out a bigger place in the hearts of its people. As the country is co-hosting the tour nament alongside the United States and Mexico, High Commisioner for Canada in Malaysia Jodi Robinson said the world’s biggest football spectacle could accelerate the sport’s rise and inspire a new generation of players and fans across the country. “I hope so, to be honest. I think Canada has started to put a little bit more into their national sports teams. “So I mean, outside of ice hockey, they have started to actually fund our football players,” she told reporters during a viewing party for the World Cup Group D US-Paraguay match in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. Robinson said excitement surround ing the tournament was already build ing across Canada, particularly as this is the first time the country is hosting the World Cup. “Canadians are so excited about this. I mean Canada is not neces sarily world-renowned for football, but I can tell you Canadians across the coun try play football.” she said.
