About the Photographer World Cup in Toronto Joseph Michael Howarth Joseph Michael Howarth has been working on this photography project for a very long time. Beginning in 2006, Joseph has been traveling around the Greater Toronto Area during live World Cup games to find and photograph fans cheering for teams from all over the world. After five World Cups and thousands of kilometres, he has photographed fans of 55 different countries participating in the World Cup. In 2006, Joseph logged over 800 kms and 3500 photos in his journey around the GTA and found fans from all 32 teams participating in that year’s tournament. He believes he might be the only person to have visited and watch live games with fans from each country within one city during the 2006 World Cup, and quite possibly any World Cup ever. In 2010, 2014 and 2018, 2022, Joseph again went out across the GTA to find teams he had not photographed in 2006. With a few exceptions, he has been successful, and Joseph has added 23 new teams to this project, and reshot many others. In the summer of 2026 he will again pursue fans of the teams new to the tournament since he began the project, but he has a feeling things will be entirely different. Of course, Joseph is super excited to photograph an actual World Cup match here is his home city (fingers crossed he can make that happen), but he is also pretty fascinated by the changes to the format. Instead of only have 32 teams, there will be 48, and potentially a whole lot more countries to find. Find out where to watch the World Cup in Toronto. Suggestions are always welcome. Joseph Michael Howarth is a commercial photographer based in Toronto, Canada. You can visit his website at Joseph Michael Photography. He is available for weddings, family photos, and does a whole host of events and commercial photography. Media Television Interviews In 2010 I has two CBC television interviews about his coverage of the world cup in 2006. This first one is an interview with Connie Walker and was featured on CBC Television: Connect with Mark Kelley. It was shot in Scallywags bar on St. Clair West on the opening day of the 2010 World Cup. Scallywags was one of the great World Cup venues in Toronto, it will be missed. In a much different environment, CBC news also invited me to their Toronto studio to do an interview with Anne-Marie Mediwake. They talked about specific photos he had taken in 2006 and 2010. This interview was conducted on June 14, 2010.
