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. Adorned with a stunning mosaic of maple leaves, this clock symbolizes the vibrant diversity that defines Canada’s identity. Positioned prominently at the brink of Niagara Falls, it serves as a striking visual reminder of the country’s natural beauty and national pride.

Canada: Proud Co-Host of a Global Sporting Spectacle
As one of three host nations—alongside Mexico and the United States—Canada is gearing up to welcome the world to a once-in-a-lifetime sporting experience. And Niagara Falls as a bucket-list destination expects to see an influx of guests at Niagara Falls hotels during the tournament. This event promises to unite fans, athletes, and communities from across the globe, celebrating the spirit of soccer and the cultural richness of North America.

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.

Looking Ahead: The Countdown Begins
With the countdown clock now in place, anticipation will only continue to grow as the FIFA World Cup 2026™ approaches. This countdown not only marks the passage of time but also the momentum building toward an event that will bring together millions in celebration of sport, culture, and unity.

From the breathtaking setting of Niagara Falls, Canada invites the world to join in the excitement. The stage is set, the clock is ticking, and the world is watching—less than a year until the FIFA World Cup 2026™ kicks off on June 11, 2026.
