Stadium-Area Access

To ensure we can safely support an event of this magnitude there will be temporary road closures and some roads will be designated “local traffic only” for vehicles around BC Place Vancouver and False Creek. Emergency services such as police, fire and ambulance will still be able to access all affected roads.

The City of Vancouver is working to keep businesses, residents and other groups in the area informed to support their planning. See the maps below for match-day and non-match day road closures. The timing, details and duration of road closures will be determined over the coming months. We look forward to sharing more information as tournament planning continues.

*Maps will be updated as planning continues
