British Columbia Premier David Eby announced that the province will receive $100 million from the Canadian federal government to assist with security for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This funding is part of a larger $146 million commitment from Ottawa for security during the event, which kicks off in June. Eby indicated that a detailed breakdown of security costs will be provided in the coming weeks. Notably, he mentioned that the province will not fund extravagant security measures, such as 'pope-like motorcades' for FIFA executives, referencing the Vancouver Police Department's recent decision to deny FIFA president Gianni Infantino a high-protection motorcade, as he did not meet the necessary requirements for such protection in Vancouver. The city is set to host the 76th FIFA Congress this week, with the first of seven World Cup matches scheduled at BC Place on June 13.
