The City of Vancouver announced Killarney Park and Memorial Park South would undergo upgrades to serve as official training grounds for the 2026 tournament.

The facilities must adhere to FIFA standards, which include game-quality grass pitches, obstructed sightlines, lights, team facilities like locker rooms and a press conference room.

Green Party Park Commissioner Tom Digby said he’s on board with the upgrades but has concerns about the other choice.
