La FIFA 2026 à Vancouver pourrait coûter 624 M$
AI Article Summary

The cost of hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in Vancouver is projected to rise significantly to between $532 and $624 million, according to a report from the British Columbia government. The increase is due to higher security measures and infrastructure improvements. Despite anticipated revenues ranging from $448 to $478 million, there is skepticism from citizens about the financial burden on taxpayers. It is expected that the event could stimulate economic activity and create 18,000 jobs in the province but might also result in a net cost of up to $145 million.
