🇨🇦 Can Arsene Wenger help the Canadian Premier League capitalise on a home World Cup?
The 2026 World Cup is a landmark moment for Canadian football!
This summer’s World Cup will be so big Toronto has had to expand its stadium to host matches at the tournament.
You might have seen pictures of the expanded BMO Field, complete with temporary stands sticking out of either end like two Lego bricks jammed into a hole they don’t fit. There has been mocking.
The sight of BMO Field in its World Cup garb, however, is a symbol of how significant an event this is for Canada - and potentially for the Canadian Premier League.
With the 2026 CPL season kicking off this weekend, the pressure is on to capitalise on a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
Can Arsene Wenger (yes, the former Arsenal manager) help them do that?
