The 2026 World Cup is the largest tournament ever, and as such it involves more stadiums in more countries than ever before. A total of 16 venues will play host to this summer’s big games, and each has a story to tell about the past, present and future of sports in its city. Stadium names may look unfamiliar, as we are using the Fifa-approved names instead of the sponsored names that run afoul of the governing body’s clean venue rules.VancouverTournament name: BC Place VancouverUsual name: BC PlaceLocation: Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaOpened: 1983 (last renovated 2011)Tournament capacity: 54,000World Cup 2026 games:
