I believe you may need to make a correction on the description for this photo. It claims to be in Montreal for 1975 WC’s but they were held in Moscow in 75. This doesn’t look like the backdrop from Montreal so I will guess that it is not the 76 Olympics either
Thanks, Kevin! It is a photo from the 1975 WC in Moscow.
