We have no stadium there that’s even close to capable of hosting.

You can’t play soccer in a hockey arena? I think people do this.

Yeah, most people assume Toronto is the Capital.

By global standards Ottawa is a pretty small capital city. Metro area has barely over 1.5 million people. As such it lacks a lot of venues you’d find in other national capital cities. Hell they’ve been fighting for years just to get a decent downtown hockey arena for their NHL team. Not to mention the lacklustre transit system.
Also it’s not exactly a diehard sports city. I can’t even imagine what they’d use a FIFA stadium for once the World Cup is over. I guess you could move the Redblacks there and watch them struggle to fill the place at even half capacity.
