How to Buy Tickets for Senegal vs Iraq at the World Cup? BMO Field Venue Info and Ticketing Notes

Updated: 2026-07-10 | The match has concluded; ticketing and sales-timeline information is retained for historical reference only

Let’s start with the result: Senegal vs Iraq was a Group I match at the 2026 World Cup, officially Match 62, played and completed in Toronto on June 26, 2026, with Senegal beating Iraq 5-0 (goals from Habib Diarra, Ismaila Sarr, a brace from Pape Gueye, and Iliman Ndiaye, with one Iraq player sent off). This was the only match between the two teams held in Canada, and at the time was a rare chance for African and West Asian communities living in Canada to see their own national team play on home soil.

The time and location details are recorded below. During the World Cup, BMO Field was officially referred to as “Toronto Stadium” per FIFA rules against corporate naming, but it’s the same venue everyone knows as BMO Field. This was also BMO Field’s final group-stage match of the tournament — once the tournament moved into knockout rounds, BMO Field’s World Cup schedule was fully complete, with its last match being the July 2 Round-of-32 game (Portugal 2-1 Croatia), and no further World Cup matches were held there.

Toronto and Vancouver were Canada’s only two World Cup host cities, with Toronto hosting a total of 6 matches at BMO Field, this Senegal-Iraq match being the last of those group-stage games. Senegal had qualified via a first-place finish in African (CAF) group play back in October 2025, a familiar face at the tournament, while Iraq made it through an intercontinental playoff in March 2026 — both teams brought sizeable local fan bases, and the atmosphere on-site was reportedly lively.

Ticket Information (Historical Reference, Sales Concluded)

Ticket sales for this match closed long ago along with the tournament’s conclusion; the following purchasing process is kept only as a historical record: 2026 World Cup tickets were originally sold exclusively through FIFA’s official platform, FIFA.com/tickets, fully digital and tied to a FIFA account, priced in US dollars, using dynamic pricing. If you’re following other matches that haven’t yet been played, the purchasing process and rules were largely the same — check fifa.com/tickets directly for current prices and availability.

BMO Field’s transit access was actually one of its strengths, and this information should stay useful for anyone visiting the venue in future (for other matches or events): the stadium sits in Exhibition Place on Toronto’s downtown waterfront. Taking the GO Train is easiest: the Lakeshore line from Union Station to Exhibition GO station takes about 7 minutes, then just a 2–5 minute walk to the stadium. If you’d rather not transfer, the TTC’s 509 Harbourfront and 511 Bathurst streetcars both run to the Exhibition Loop terminus right beside the venue.

If you’re on the west coast and later want to fly to Toronto for other matches or events, a domestic flight from Vancouver takes about 4.5 hours, and remember there’s a 3-hour time difference between Toronto (ET) and Vancouver (PT) — don’t get that wrong when booking flights or planning your itinerary.

Missing this match in person is no reason for regret — Canada’s major cities all had official Fan Festival zones and partner bars broadcasting matches during the World Cup, and the atmosphere didn’t necessarily fall short of being there live.
