It's an exceptionally hard sell. Forget soccer, just think of the cost required to be able to host the World Cup. At present, Canada has literally zero stadiums that meet FIFA requirements for World Cup stadium. None. So the cost to upgrade/build the required stadiums is going to billions of dollars. And then there's security...

That's likely the future of World Cups/Olympics, a rotation between countries with the established infrastructure to handle the event. But more and more countries are starting to realize what a spectacular waste these events are economically. If this were ever put to a vote it would get overwhelmingly voted down.
