The federal government will provide more than $104 million in funding to help Toronto host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The announcement comes after Ottawa’s pledge of $116 million last month to help fund the Vancouver games, for an overall investment of more than $220 million. This is the first time the federal government has gone public with a firm dollar-figure for the games following the successful global bid.
