"Coast Mountains rise east of Vancouver, the Pacific Ocean laps west, and rainforest Stanley Park anchors the city's downtown core. BC Place sits peacefully in this natural amphitheater with a retractable roof, which is a feature that allows an unparalleled mountain view during matches. This guide is here to take you through the stadium's history, ticket info, and availability ahead of the highly anticipated World Cup 2026."
"The USA defeated Japan 5-2 in the highest-scoring Women's World Cup Final ever. Carli Lloyd's hat trick (3rd, 5th, 16th minutes) became the fastest Women's World Cup Final hat trick. Lauren Holiday's 14th-minute strike made it 4-0 before halftime. It was a historic moment with 53,341 people in attendance, in an indoor stadium, witnessing Lloyd picking up the Golden Ball (best player), and Hope Solo winning the Golden Glove (best goalkeeper)."
