Background

BC Place in Downtown Vancouver was the scene of Canada's greatest-ever World Cup performance on 18 June 2026, when the host nation demolished Qatar 6-0 (their largest World Cup victory) with Jonathan David scoring a hat-trick . The result confirmed Canada's qualification from Group B alongside Switzerland and made BC Place a landmark venue in Canadian football history.

Its standard capacity is 54,500, configured to 48,821 for World Cup matches. The stadium serves as the home ground for Vancouver Whitecaps FC (MLS) and the BC Lions (CFL).
