After declining to consider a co-host role for the Soccer World Cup when it comes to Canada in 2026, BC is now back on the pitch.
FIFA, international soccer's governing body, says Vancouver has joined Edmonton and Toronto as a ``candidate host city.''
BC backed out in 2018 citing unknown costs but, after a visit to BC Place, FIFA officials confirm Vancouver is onside again.
BC's sport minister Melanie Mark says in a statement that hosting the event would be a ``once-in-a-generation opportunity'' for soccer fans and the province's tourism sector.
