Surrey Soccer Fan Zones
“We’re proud to offer Surrey Soccer Fan Zones – free, safe, and welcoming spaces where families can come together to enjoy FIFA World Cup 26,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “By providing these accessible, no-cost events, we’re helping families enjoy the games, cheer on their favourite teams, and make summer memories together.”
The Fan Zones will be open from June 11 to July 19 during the tournament. Fans can find them at Surrey Civic Plaza, the Cloverdale Agriplex, and South Surrey Athletic Park. The first live broadcast will take place at Surrey Civic Plaza on June 11 as the official opening celebration happens on June 12 for Canada’s first game against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On July 1, the Cloverdale Agriplex will open as part of the City’s Canada Day festivities, and Softball City at South Surrey Athletic Park on July 14.
Additionally, further Fan Zones will be announced in the time leading up to the start of the World Cup. More fan zone locations may also be announced closer to the event.
The fan zones will come in two different formats: Match Only days and Full Fan Zone Experience days.
Match Only days will offer live match screenings and interactive soccer activities. Full Fan Zone Experience days will include all the features of Match Only, as well as festival-style fun. There will be live entertainment, community exhibitors, food trucks and a beer garden
