As Saskatchewan matures, strong economic sports opportunities may present themselves.
Soccer organizations in the United States, Mexico and Canada have submitted a bid to host the 2026 World Cup. The event will be expanded to 48 teams, which means more games in more centres.

If you build it, they will come. This may serve as a good lesson to civic politicians in other Saskatchewan centres that can’t comprehend the benefits of state-of-the-art sports facilities.
