The Canadian government will allocate ​up to $145 million for ‌security during the upcoming World ​Cup, Canada’s public ⁠safety minister announced on Wednesday.

Thirteen matches are set to ‌take place in Toronto and Vancouver during ‌the June 11-July 19 ‌tournament, ⁠which Canada is ⁠hosting alongside the U.S. and Mexico.

“This funding will support provinces ​and municipalities in ‌their efforts to ensure people remain safe while enjoying the tournament, and ‌ensure law enforcement agencies ​have the resources they need to deliver ⁠a safe and well-managed event,” Public Safety Minister ‌Gary Anandasangaree said at a news conference in Toronto.

Toronto will see about $45 million of the money, while $100 million will be ‌set aside for Vancouver.

The investment ​builds on the $220 million the federal government ⁠has already allocated to the ⁠Canadian host cities.

Ottawa previously allocated up to $320 ‌million for hosting the tournament. (
