“The FIFA World Cup 2026™ is a global moment, but its impact is built locally in the communities that will host it,” said Michiel Wielhouwer, President and Country Manager, Visa Canada. “We’re proud to invest in and create spaces where the next generation can find their footing and help ensure that legacy continues long after the tournament.”
A Goal for the Community
Beyond the pitch, Visa Canada has donated $200K CAD to the City of Toronto's Soccer for All Legacy program, which supports access to free sport programming and resources in equity-deserving neighborhoods across the city for up to one year, helping remove barriers so more children and youth can get involved in the game.
At Nathan Phillips Square, programming for the Visa Street Soccer Park will be delivered by the City of Toronto, balancing structured community access with opportunities for informal public use. The schedule will include a mix of City programming, community organization bookings, and designated drop-in periods for pick-up soccer and casual play. A complete schedule will be available at toronto.ca/Mini-Pitches.
“This initiative represents what’s possible when we come together with a shared purpose,” said Olivia Chow, Mayor of Toronto. “We are grateful for Visa’s partnership in helping bring this space to life and support the City of Toronto’s Soccer for All Legacy program.
