Have you ever sat at your TV watching a soccer game and found yourself curious about the science or technology behind FIFA? No? Well, you’ll have the chance to learn anyway!
Science World announced its coming Soccer & Technology from the FIFA Museum exhibit, set to kick off on May 15, 2026 – just in time for Vancouver opening its doors to soccer fans across the world for the FIFA Men’s World Cup 2026.
The travelling exhibit offers a look at the world’s favourite spot from a new and unique angle. Visitors will be able to learn about the “evolving ecosystem” of soccer and how technology is changing the way we play, watch or understand the game.
The province is one of the presenting partners for the exhibit and hopes the unique exhibit, combined with Vancouver hosting the upcoming World Cup, will turn B.C. into a global tourism hub.
Vancouver will also be hosting the FIFA Congress ahead of World Cup on April 30, 2026. It will bring in 200-plus delegations from around the world.
More information on the FIFA Museum or the Soccer & Technology exhibit can be found at fifamuseum.com.
The men’s World Cup runs June 11 to July 19, 2026. The first Canadian game will be in Toronto on June 12. Vancouver will play host to seven matches with the first June 13, 2026. Vancouver will also host a round of 16 game in the knockout stage on July 7.
