Are you ready for FIFA?

The 100-day countdown to the first match was March 3, 2026:  Here are some quick facts on the tournament:

  • The tournament will be held between June 11th and July 19th.
    • It will feature 104 games with 48 teams in 16 host cities across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
    • 3.5 billion people will be watching the tournament worldwide.
    • Seven matches are scheduled to take place at BC Place Stadium with an estimated 350,000 fans attending.

Our BIA’s location near BC Place and the “Last Mile” fan area of the FIFA tournament puts us at the forefront of the tournament area, giving us a golden opportunity to maximize the economic impact while showcasing our local businesses to local and international visitors.

To help you get ready, we have created a webpage dedicated to up-to-date FIFA information customized for HxBIA members. There you will find a link to the Playbook to assist you in taking advantage of this opportunity.
