about
Vancouver
THE BEAUTIFUL GAME IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
Welcome to Vancouver, where the beautiful game meets a city that’s nestled between mountains and ocean. From Richmond to Burnaby, to the North Shore, we are the Pacific coast. We are a young city on an ancient land, as diverse as we are active and as open-minded as we are free-spirited. In 2026, we’re ready to welcome the world to Vancouver for the FIFA World Cup™. From pitches to parks to patios, Vancouver is proud of our unforgettable sports legacy and passion for the game of soccer. From Stanley Park, to Kits Beach to Granville Island, we are ready to be the perfect host to fans from far and wide.
