TORONTO — Fans lined a chilly street in Toronto’s Little Italy outside Café Diplomatico for Canada Soccer’s “Our Game Now” World Cup jersey swap.
The Canada jerseys ran out in under 30 minutes, with scarves, hats and posters also disappearing fast.
Canada Soccer announced the event after the Italian team lost a chance to quality for World Cup 2026, being hosted in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, after a surprising loss to Bosnia-Herzegovina earlier this week.
Father-and-son duo Amil and David Ivascu snagged the final jersey while keeping their Italian shirts.
