Montreal Olympic Stadium, Montreal (Renovation), Edmonton Commonwealth Stadium, Edmonton (Renovation), New Winnipeg Stadium, Winnipeg (Expanison), BC Place Stadium, Vancouver (Expansion), Rogers Centre, Toronto (Renovation/Expansion), McMahon Stadium, Calgary (Renovation/Expansion), Frank Clair Stadium, Ottawa (Renovation/Expansion), BMO Field, Toronto (Renovation/Expansion). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reindeer Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 South Africa truly is a football-crazy nation, at least the black population, Qatar was a farce that never should have happened and USA had some history in the sport plus a multicultural, 300 million population that had shown itself to be able to get excited about major sport events and create biggest shows on Earth which they did in '94, something that their northern neighbours would most likely find very hard to match. I'm not completely against Canada hosting but I hope it doesn't happen too soon after Qatar. I also expect Canada to show some progress in the game before bidding to host. I don't want to see a WC with lacklustre atmosphere, third or fourth rate host team and empty stadiums.

yoshi Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'd like a Canadian WC, but it's unlikely. They aren't the best team, AFAIK they don't have any domestic men's structure at all, only the 3 teams in MLS. It would be less compact than Brazil, the cities are spread out, imagine needing to play in Vancouver 4 days after playing in Halifax. And in any case Canada is (& should be) focused on a Toronto Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post intoronto Posted December 16, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'd like a Canadian WC, but it's unlikely.

It would be less compact than Brazil, the cities are spread out, imagine needing to play in Vancouver 4 days after playing in Halifax. And in any case Canada is (& should be) focused on a Toronto Olympics. If they were to host some sort of clustering would like happen. Divide 5 west venues (Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Regina) into one zone and (Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Montreal, Eastern Canada) into one zone. At most for the preliminaries is a one hour time zone difference. It would definitely pose a logistical issue.which would weaken the bid. The 2014 FIFA u20 world cup has a group where teams are scheduled to play in Edmonton and Moncton, while the 2007 FIFA u20 world cup had Chile go Toronto-Edmonton-Toronto-Edmonton-Montreal-Toronto. South Africa truly is a football-crazy nation, at least the black population, Qatar was a farce that never should have happened and USA had some history in the sport plus a multicultural, 300 million population that had shown itself to be able to get excited about major sport events and create biggest shows on Earth which they did in '94, something that their northern neighbours would most likely find very hard to match.

I don't think a country which has made some of the lower tiered FIFA events the most successful tournaments in those categories can be defined as "bland" Canada would be worst hosts for the World Cup: unbearably polite country for football... unless they bring them hockey fans to the crowds Well at least the stadiums would be built on time and the stadiums would be full 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofan Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Canada would be worst hosts for the World Cup: unbearably polite country for football... unless they bring them hockey fans to the crowds Yes, the country that cheers for hockey brawls could not possibly stand the extreme violence of football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Canada is NOT a football-crazy nation. Not gonna happen. I disagree on that. All three MLS teams are beacon of consistent attendance. Toronto FC was seen as a model franchise when it entered the league. Sell outs in every FIFA tournament hosted here, heck 47,000 turned out for the gold medal match at a women's youth tournament. Moreover more youth play soccer in Canada then hockey so that shows how popular the sport really is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well, 2015 will be the real test. Stage a great Women's WC, & Fifa might be on side, & really, there's nothing else left for Canada to host. What kind of stadiums would you need? I'm guessing a big national stadium in Toronto (with track capability , a replacement or a big renovation for the Olympic stadium in Montreal, and a new stadium in Halifax (finally). Anything else?

Lord David Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Quebec City, possible expansion of Moncton's stadium. You got an ideal plan right there with 3 "regions or sectors" of 4 venues. West, Central, East West: Vancouver - 54,000 (existing) Calgary - 50,000+ (existing) Edmonton - 54,000+ (existing) Regina - 50,000 (new) Central: Winnipeg - 40,000 (existing) Toronto - 80,000+ (new) Hamilton - 40,000 (existing) Ottawa - 40,000 (existing) East: Moncton - 40,000 (existing) Montreal - 60,000+ (existing) Quebec City - 40,000 (new) Halifax - 40,000 (new) You provide 16 non host city locations to host 2 teams each, including the Territories, throughout the country. Legacy training grounds etc will be the legacy of such host cities. Grass won't grow in Iqaluit? Not a problem, make the training venue indoor. This should also be the case for the other Territory capitals if it's too cold during the time of the World Cup. Canada could and should host a great World Cup someday! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 That's a very good plan. If they want it, Canada could provide a very big challenge to the US when it's next CONCACAF's turn. Will the US go for 2026, especially as it's the 250th anniversary of independence, I'd think they may want some kind of mega-event, either the World Cup or the WOGs.

Tony E Loves Architecture Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Morocco would also be a good Bid aswell in my Opinion: Grand Stade de Casablanca, Casablanca (80,000 Seats Brand New Venue - Final Venue, Quarter Final, Round of 16 and Group Stage) Stade Mohamed V, Casablanca (67,000 Seats Rebuilt - Semi-Final Venue, Round of 16 and Group Stage including Opening Match) Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, Rabat (67,000 Seats Rebuilt - Semi-Final Venue, Round of 16 and Group Stage) Stade Adrar, Agadir (55,000 Seats Renovated/Expanded - Quarter-Final Venue, 3rd/4th Place Playoff, Round of 16 and Group Stage) Stade de Marrakech, Marrakech (57,000 Seats Renovated/Expanded - Quarter-Final Venue, Round of 16 and Group Stage) Stade de Tanger, Tanger (51,000 seats Renovated/Expanded - Quarter-Final Venue, Round of 16 and Group Stage) Fez Stadium, Fes (47,000 Seats Renovated/Expanded - Round of 16 and Group Stage) Honneur Stadium, Oujda (46,000 Seats Renovated/Expanded - Round of 16 and Group Stage) Stade Cheikh Laaghdef, El Aaiun (44,000 Seats Renovated/Expanded - Group Stage) Stade d'Honneur de Meknes, Meknes (42,000 Seats Renovated/Expanded - Group Stage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony E Loves Architecture Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Look guys it's opinion. Some people see things differently. I personally think Canada should host it as Usa and Mexico have already hosted it and Canada is more Football crazy then Qatar, I think any country is.

By the way my London Velodrome has 6,000 seats so it's joint biggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
