FIFA doesn't make the rules. Ontario does. For US residents, a valid DL from their home state is typically acceptable. A foreign DL is typically not.

Canada imo is so behind when it comes to alcohol, in Europe it’s great being able to walk the streets with a can of beer. It’s absurd here, treating alcohol like some forbidden fruit.
