The City of Toronto appears to be trying a unique strategy to recoup some of the costs associated with hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup.At a city hall meeting on Tuesday, councillors and mayor Olivia Chow discussed a plan to buy $10.7 million Canadian worth of tickets for next year's World Cup matches taking place at BMO Field, most of which are in luxury boxes and special hospitality packages.Though the City of Toronto owns the venue, FIFA controls the tickets for all matches.
