World Cup fan event bypasses CK

Chatham-Kent has missed out on the FIFA26 Canada Caravan.

The fan event won't be making a stop at Tecumseh Park in Chatham after all, during World Cup 26 celebrations in June and July.

It's travelling to select cities across Canada, including 15 in Ontario.

The nearest stops will be Windsor on July 15 and London on July 4.

The World Cup takes place from June 11 to July 19.

Canada will host alongside Mexico and the United States across 16 host cities.

It's being billed as the "biggest sporting event ever" with 48 teams and 104 matches showcasing soccer in North America.
