Canada will play Honduras on September 2 and El Salvador on September 8 at BMO Field in Toronto as part of the Concacaf Final Round qualifying games for the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ in Qatar.

Athletes will be tested for COVID-19 upon arrival in Toronto and then retested in the days leading up to qualifying matches. The testing will take place near BMO field.

FRR has teamed up with LifeLabs to deliver remote rapid COVID-19 testing and tracking with the Fionet platform. The Fionet platform has been integrated into LifeLabs’ laboratory information system and COVID-19 rapid diagnostic testing (RDT) program to support Canadians as they return to work.
