BC Place in Vancouver opened in 1983 with a retractable roof and was the first stadium in Canada to host a FIFA Women's World Cup Final (2015). It will make history again in 2026.
⚡ Stadium Fact
Vancouver is one of the most multicultural cities in North America — over half the population speaks a language other than English at home. The fan atmosphere at World Cup matches here will be electric.
⚡ Stadium Fact
Canada's Pacific coast location means some matches will kick off late in Eastern Time — but the mountain-and-sea backdrop of Vancouver is one of the most stunning in any host city.
