Organizers of the FIFA Men’s World Cup in 2026 have requested pre-arranged access to medical care for athletes and VIPs at Toronto and Vancouver hospitals as part of both cities’ responsibility for the games.
According to a FIFA document outlining host city requirements, the organization is asking for the access in designated hospitals as well as a full range of medical specialist care, medication, and adequately qualified medical staff.
In simple terms, pre-arranged access means that FIFA aims to have a clearly designated hospital for athletes or VIPs seeking urgent emergency care after being evaluated at the stadium facilities.
