FIFA World Cup 2026™ · Toronto Safety Guide
Stadium Bag Policy
BMO Field enforces strict bag and entry rules — especially for FIFA matches. Arriving unprepared means missed kickoff or a trip back to your hotel.
Key takeaways
- Clear bag policies are common for major tournaments — check the official venue site 48 hours before kickoff.
- Small clutch bags may be allowed if they meet published size limits.
- Prohibited items typically include large umbrellas, professional cameras, and outside alcohol.
What to bring
- Government ID matching the ticket holder name on assigned seats.
- Mobile ticket downloaded offline — stadium Wi-Fi and LTE often fail at capacity.
- Clear stadium-approved bag or no bag; wear essentials in pockets if allowed.
- Sunscreen and hat if permitted — afternoon June matches get intense on open stands.
What to leave at the hotel
- Large backpacks and roller bags — almost always turned away.
- Selfie sticks, drones, and professional lens cameras without credentials.
- Outside food and beverages unless medically required with documentation.
- Noisemakers and fireworks — security will confiscate and may deny entry.
