FIFA PRESS RELEASE — Vancouver City Council has earmarked another $30 million to ensure the $107 million amphitheatre is ready for the summer 2026 FIFA fan event highlighting, via a large screen, the FIFA games that will be played at BC Place.
While the games are being played at BC Place, which is able to seat 54,000, portions of Killarney Park North and Memorial Park South in East Vancouver will provide practice areas as well as press and conference area, coach and team facilities plus stands. Both parks feature a central field playing area and an outdoor track.
Memorial Park offers all the challenges of dealing with an old site as it was established in 1926 to honour soldiers from the Second World War. The piping serving the 80-year-old fieldhouses are also being replaced. The largest structures are the team and coaching buildings which will be modular and have the capability of being moved to other sites after the FIFA event. The press centre and bleachers are temporary and will be removed after the event.Turner is looking have work done at both sites simultaneously and subcontractors can bid on work at one or both sites.In July 2024, the City of Vancouver was calling for expressions of interest for companies that could provide the sod for the pitches.
