Vancouver to host World Cup games in 2026

  • Vancouver to host World Cup games in 2026

Vancouver is set to get a tourism boost from hosting World Cup games in 2026, but experts say fans and planners should not be overly optimistic in their projections.

Destination BC is already projecting the tournament could generate 1-billion-dollars for the province's tourism sector, factoring both the games in Vancouver and the impact in the following five years.Β 

Moshe Lander, a senior lecturer in economics at Concordia University in Montreal, says Vancouver may not get a huge profile boost from the World Cup given the city has already hosted major international sporting events.

FIFA announced on Sunday that Vancouver and Toronto will host a combined total of 13 games.
