Over Vancouver
Vancouver hosts seven World Cup fixtures at BC Place, a retractable-roof stadium right in the heart of downtown. It is the smallest Canadian host city but offers the most compact and walkable matchday experience of the three North American hosts.
The setting — ocean on one side, mountains on the other — makes Vancouver a fan-favourite base. Seattle is a 3-hour drive across the US border, enabling cross-city itineraries.
