VICTORIA – New Democrat MLA Grace Lore says people will be able to watch the men’s world cup, celebrate, and have fun at soccer-themed events for free this summer in Victoria.

“Here in Victoria, we’re lucky to have soccer organizations and advocates who make it possible for people of all ages and skill levels to play all year-round,” said Grace Lore, MLA for Victoria Beacon Hill. “I’m excited for soccer fans here and across B.C. to be able join us during these watch parties to celebrate our favorite teams and athletes.”

Victoria is receiving $35,000 to host live entertainment, World Cup themed activities, and indoor and outdoor viewing opportunities.

The Province is providing $1.7 million in one-time funding to 32 municipalities, regional districts and First Nations to host free public events to ensure British Columbians throughout the province can participate in the world cup festivities through the 2026 Community Event Support Fund.
