Where to find the most important Toronto updates for the 2026 FIFA World Cup

We’re saying goodbye to the FIFA World Cup early at The Green Line.

Yes, we know the 2026 FIFA World Cup hasn’t even started yet, but our Documenters team won’t be giving you the details on all things FIFA-related anymore.

The whole point of the Documenters project is to make civic information more accessible and attend public meetings that are underreported. But as the games approach very quickly, large news outlets are listening, watching and reporting too. 

We want to make sure what goes unnoticed doesn’t and that means we have to shift our focus. 

In case you want to attend upcoming meetings yourself, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the latest, greatest and all that’s to come for how the City of Toronto is managing and planning for the FIFA World Cup.

• On May 4, the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee will be reviewing an update to its mobility and accessibility venue plans – a topic we previously covered! The committee members are friendly and love for people to attend in-person. 
• On May 13, the Kensington Business Improvement Area will host its usual monthly meeting. KMBIA is preparing for a jam-packed, cultural celebration on its streets.

From documenting about the Kensington Market Business Improvement Area’s (KMBIA) celebrations, to taking Documenter trainees to Toronto Transit Commission meetings on accessibility, we’ve provided our Green Liners with a lot of information.

Here are a couple of the notes we’ve done in the last few months related to the FIFA World Cup, in case you wanted to catch up on everything and see the development for yourself.

• On Aug. 29, 2025, we shared Documenter Sebastian Tansil’s notes on KMBIA’s plans for a patchwork of cultural zones across the neighbourhood. 
• On Feb. 20, 2026, Documenter Sebastian Tansil gave us an update on KMBIA’s initiatives, including a special Pedestrian Sunday featuring different participating countries in the World Cup. 
• On April 10, 2026, our newest Documenter trainees attended the TTC’s Advisory Committee on Accessible Transit, where members reviewed updates to mobility measures for people travelling to FIFA Fan Fest and the games. 
• On April 24, 2026, Documenter Rouaida Nassif attended an Executive Committee meeting, where Toronto made some pretty controversial changes to FIFA Fan Fest’s free admission. 

Not enough Documenters FIFA notes? Toronto Metropolitan University’s Reimagining News Class had Documenter Emma Amodio attend five meetings related to the FIFA World Cup. Her notes on procurement plans, safety and sustainability are available too. 

So, as you gear up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, we say goodbye! Be sure to tell us how you feel about how the City of Toronto is managing it by sending us a shout on social media.
