TORONTO —
A World Cup dress rehearsal – via an Inter Miami-Toronto FC matcH – is underway at the new-look BMO Field.
A sellout crowd of about 45,000 fans was on hand for the Major League Soccer matinee. It’s the final TFC home game before the start of the FIFA World Cup next month.
A few thousand seats remained empty at kickoff as fans slowly made their way into the lakefront stadium.
