Canada v USA Fan Advisory

Ahead of Thursday’s highly anticipated Canada v USA match at BC Place, we wanted to share some important information to help make your event experience as memorable as possible.

BE PART OF A ‘SEA OF RED’
Canada’s Women’s National Team is calling on all fans to show their Canadian pride, and with a full house expected, the building is going to be rocking! The colour of the day will be RED so prepare your attire accordingly!

ARRIVE EARLY AND JOIN THE PARTY!
With a capacity crowd expected for Thursday’s showdown, fans are encouraged to arrive early to BC Place. The party will get started with a Fan Fest in the Terry Fox Plaza (off Beatty Street, Adjacent to Gates A & H). Canada Soccer and its Partners will be hosting games and distributing giveaways to fans on their way into the stadium.

Enter at any gate! All gates will open one hour prior to kick off at 6:00pm and the first 5,000 fans on-site will receive a free commemorative match day roster sheet. If you find that your gate is busy, keep moving around the stadium as all gates will be open and all tickets are accepted at all gates.
