Toronto, May 21, 2004 – The federal government today announced a partnership with Toronto community, athletic and sports leaders to rebuild the historic Varsity Stadium site on Bloor Street just west of Avenue Road/University Avenue, resulting in a new community facility in the heart of Canada’s largest city.
The new Varsity Stadium will be a major component in the bid of the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) for Canada to host the 2007 FIFA Men’s Under-20 World Youth Championship. It will also serve as a new permanent home and focal point for Canadian soccer. Community and University sports enthusiasts will enjoy this 25,000-seat venue, which will also be the new home field of the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts beginning in 2006.
“The Government is very excited about competing to host the FIFA under-20s”, said Human Resources and Skills Development Minister Joe Volpe. A new Varsity Stadium will provide a critical boost to the bid of the CSA to win the right for Canada to host the 2007 FIFA Men’s Under 20 World Youth Championship. The tournament, which would be played in six cities across the country, would generate approximately $30 million in economic benefits, with as much as $15 million dollars in benefits coming directly to Toronto.
