On June 11, 2025, Niagara Falls proudly marked a monumental milestone in the countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ — just one year until the world’s biggest and most anticipated soccer tournament kicks off. The occasion was celebrated in an unforgettable way, right at the edge of one of Canada’s most iconic natural wonders: Niagara Falls.

A Stunning Backdrop for a Historic Moment
The celebration featured the official unveiling of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Canada-branded countdown clock — a towering, nearly ten-foot-tall centerpiece designed to capture the excitement building across the nation.

Official Kickoff Ceremony: A Gathering of Leaders and Enthusiasts
The One Year to Go celebration brought together local officials, FIFA representatives, and passionate soccer fans for the official countdown launch. Among the dignitaries present were Ontario’s Minister of Sport, Neil Lumsden, and Parliamentary Secretary Madeleine Chenette, who oversees Canadian Identity and Culture as well as Official Languages. Both delivered inspirational messages underscoring the significance of hosting the tournament and the positive impact it will have on communities nationwide. Chief Tournament Officer and other key stakeholders also expressed their excitement, highlighting Canada’s readiness to host a world-class event and the countless opportunities for engagement it will create.
