This summer, sports fans will see the first-ever men's FIFA World Cup match in Canada, and for the millions of sports fans who refuse to cheer for just one country in this international tournament, FanDuel created Dual Fan scarves. In a city as multicultural as Toronto, fans won't be limiting themselves to celebrating just one country, and these dual-sided scarves recognize this reality by helping fans represent their home nation and heritage teams.
As Ontario's capital city gears up to host the summer of soccer, FanDuel Canada and Toronto-based creative studio OneMethod created scarves matching Team Canada with each of the other 47 participating nations. These limited-edition scarves are already being seen on influencers, integrated into watch parties, fan gatherings throughout the tournament, and featured in a FanDuel-wrapped streetcar giveaways.
