Toronto FC has a special place in the heart of the city of Toronto for a long, long time. The club was formed in 2005 and has since become a staple in the city's soccer scene. The team has a rich history, dating back to the first game of soccer in Canada in 1876. The game was played on Winchester Street in Cabbagetown, Toronto, and was a recreational match between the Carlton Cricket Club and the Toronto Lacrosse Club. The game ended in a tie, but it marked the beginning of a long and storied history of soccer in Toronto. Over the years, Toronto FC has had its fair share of successes and failures, but the team has always remained a beloved part of the city's sports scene. In 2026, Toronto FC will host the first-ever FIFA Men's World Cup game in Canada, with Canada playing Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday, June 12. The game will be a historic moment for the team and the city, and will mark a new chapter in the history of soccer in Toronto.
