World Cup fans in the GTA – Highlight Gallery A highlight gallery of World Cup fans in Toronto over the past four World Cups: 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018. From great highs to frustrating lows, from large crowds to a single…
Argentina – 2014
Sky Ranch Restaurant was unanimously picked as the place to be in Toronto to watch Argentina in the World Cup. I hadn’t been there yet, and what better time to go than during a semi-final game! Turns out to be…
Russia – 2014
I didn’t think it was going to be so difficult to find the Russians. As one of only four new teams in the 2014 World Cup for me to photograph, they were an ESSENTIAL team for me to find this…
United States – 2014
Stopped by The Office to see what kind of United States support they actually attracted. Despite the number of Americans in Toronto, they are rarely visually patriotic north of the border and in the past I’ve had a really tough…
Colombia – 2014
I have to admit, I kind of stumbled into this one, but what a great find. I had heard the Colombian community in Toronto was around the Keele and Sheppard area, but I didn’t have a specific location scouted out.…
Uruguay – 2014
Another fantastic game, huge surprise, and I was so excited to be with the Uruguay fans when they scored their first goal against England. I wish more countries made their own club like Club Uruguay, not only does it make…
Greece – 2014
I stopped by the Danforth for about ten minutes of a rather uninteresting game in the World Cup 2014. Turns out, I missed the great Greek game, which shut down the Danforth on June 24th. Still, it was an impressive…
Chile – 2014
Wow. Spain is out, Chile has advanced. Still one game to go in the first round. Wow. Deep breath…. and I don’t even really like soccer, but wow, deep breath… Unfortunately, I missed the first half and the two Chilean…
Cameroon – 2014
Having already checked out The Suya Spot and Harlem Underground as potential African World Cup Team watching spots, I decided to check out Yauca’s Lounge. After the closing of Chez La Belle Africaine, a hot spot for Cameroon fans for…
Mexico – 2014
Although the game finished as a 0-0 draw, it was a fantastic game and very much considered a win by the Mexican fans. I decided to head over to El Rincon Mexicano to see what all the hype was about…
Belgium – 2014
Huge first-game comeback win for Belgium. While these photos may not be the best representation of what this venue or fan base can be in Toronto, there is no question this will be a great place to be in the…
Ghana – 2014
The Harlem Underground on Queen Street West in Toronto has called themselves the “Africa 2014 World Cup HQ” so I had to go down to check out a game with an african team playing. I can confidently say, it’s a…
Iran – 2014
Easily considered the least exciting game of the 2014 World Cup, you wouldn’t know it if you were watching it with the Iranian fans in the Boston Pizza at Yonge and Sheppard. This place was packed, wall to wall, floor…
Nigeria – 2014
The Suya Spot on Weston Road is the African Nation World Cup headquarters in Toronto, no question. They don’t only have jerseys and flags from all four of the subsaharan African countries proudly on the wall – Nigeria, Ivory Coast,…
Germany – 2014
I missed the first goal and was so disappointed. It’s so fun to be with a huge crowd of fans when their team scores, and this group of German fans were ready for a cheering. So when I arrived and…
Where to Watch – Celebration Square, Mississauga
An amazing neutral site for World Cup fans in the GTA is Celebration Square in Mississauga. I went to Square One in search of Bosnia and Herzegovina this past Sunday but I found dozens of fans of just about every…
