FIFA World Cup 2026
Toronto will host 6 matches of the FIFA World Cup, while Vancouver will host 7, so these cities will see significantly more tourists than usual during this summer. To ensure that your stay here goes smoothly, please prepare thoroughly for your travel. Our aim is to assist you with this below.
Hungarian citizens entering Canada for tourism purposes are visa-exempt for stays of up to 6 months, but an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is required for entry by air. (eTA application: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eta/apply.html ) Please note that possession of an eTA alone does not guarantee entry!
Detailed information about the matches, local transportation options, airport transfer options, and local emergency services is available on the event’s official website (Toronto - https://torontofwc26.ca/, Vancouver - https://vancouverfwc26.ca/match-centre/match-schedule), as well as the FIFA subpage on the City of Toronto’s website: https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/festivals-events/fifa-world-cup-26/
