Organizers of the seven FIFA World Cup soccer matches coming to Vancouver in 2026 say the estimated cost of hosting the event has more than doubled in the last two years.

The VPD says there will be more officers working in downtown Vancouver for Game 5, in anticipation of a large number of people coming to the area.  

The province said the costs are expected to be offset by revenues and a federal contribution, leaving the net cost to taxpayers at between $100-million and $145-million

The total cost is now expected to be between $483-million to $581-million, compared to the last figure the province released, $230-million in January, 2023

A statement from the Vancouver Police Department says the woman ‘referred to a number of terrorist organizations as heroes’
