Lasting benefits of World Cup in Vancouver won’t reach level of 2010 Olympics, critics say

December 8, 2025

Vancouver organizers for the FIFA World Cup gathered media on Monday to show off a new field in southeast Vancouver that will be one of the two practice pitches for the games.

At a cost of $24-million, which included the price of digging up and replacing boggy peat under the existing surface, the field will eventually be carpeted in a special grass now being grown in the Fraser Valley.
