Drake Meets FIFA President, Calls World Cup 'Bigger Than the Super Bowl'

Toronto is gearing up to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and none other than Canadian superstar Drake is lending his voice to the event's excitement. As an ambassador for Canada, Drake recently sat down with FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the significance of the tournament coming to his hometown. The rap icon emphasized how the World Cup is not just a sporting event but a global phenomenon.

"The World Cup attracts five billion viewers worldwide," Drake said. "That’s the kind of reach that makes it the most-watched event on the planet. It's wild when you think about it—people call the Super Bowl big, but with just 100 million viewers, it’s barely a fraction of the World Cup’s audience."

Drake’s comments highlight the sheer scale of the event, which will turn Toronto into a global stage. The 2026 tournament, which will be held across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, promises to draw massive crowds and viewership, solidifying soccer’s dominance in the world of sports entertainment.

As Toronto gears up for the tournament, the city’s most famous export is already setting the stage for what will undoubtedly be an unforgettable event.
