A winning track record hosting sporting events

Winnipeg is a proven destination when it comes to hosting world-class sporting events. We’ve recently hosted such major events as the Grey Cup, the NHL Heritage Classic, the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the incredibly successful Canada Summer Games, which exceeded attendance expectations.

Great location

Our central location equates to short flight times from either coast. The Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport is only 15 minutes from downtown, while the surrounding area features excellent and affordable hotels, along with shopping at CF Polo Park and Outlet Collection Winnipeg.
