Canadian officials doubled the estimated costs of hosting seven FIFA World Cup games in Vancouver in 2026 — but they’re betting the soccer bonanza will still pay off.
Gross costs are now estimated between C$483 million ($351 million) and C$581 million, the province of British Columbia said on Tuesday. Preliminary estimates two years ago only went as high as C$260 million, with two additional matches and inflation accounting for some of the increase.
