Toronto Public Health is handing out 576,000 free World Cup-themed condoms and 200,000 lubricant packets before matches begin next month in the city.
Nearly C$200,000 was allocated for the campaign, which the agency says is meant to promote sexual health and help fans "score safely" during the tournament.
Six wrapper designs have appeared on social media, using soccer-themed slogans such as "block those shots" and "what a finish" alongside playful emoji imagery.
The giveaway reflects host-city planning around the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Toronto aiming to limit any spike in sexually transmitted infections tied to large fan gatherings.
Will Toronto's collectible World Cup condoms actually be used, or just become fan souvenirs?
Beyond the viral designs, can a $200,000 condom campaign truly curb STI transmission?
