Concacaf Launches ‘Concacaf House’ in Vancouver, activates FIFA World Cup 2026 Host-City
Concacaf has launched the Concacaf House in Vancouver on April 26–30, 2026, establishing the first in a series of fan-facing activations that will bring the Confederation’s presence to life during the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Opening in alignment with the 76th FIFA Congress, the Vancouver edition will featured the ribbon-cutting during opening week and welcome fans, partners, and stakeholders to a new space dedicated to football, culture, and connection.
Free public programming took place at Jack Poole Plaza, adjacent to the Vancouver Convention Center, 1055 Canada Place, with hours of operation from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on April 26–28, 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on April 29, and 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on April 30.
Conceived as a central expression of Concacaf during the FIFA World Cup 2026, Concacaf House will offer a space that introduces the world to the Confederation’s 41 Member Associations through football, culture, and shared experience. It is designed to make Concacaf’s story tangible by creating an environment where distinct national identities can be experienced side by side, united by a common passion for the game.
Built around the idea of “41 for 1,” Concacaf House reflects the diversity of the region and the bond that connects it. The experience invites guests to explore the heritage, creativity, and spirit of Concacaf through immersive activations spanning art, play, storytelling, and regional flavors.
The space is organized across four thematic zones focused on inspiration, participation, discovery, and celebration, each designed to bring the Confederation’s identity to life in a memorable and accessible way.
Featured experiences in Vancouver will include The Kicks of Concacaf, an installation of 41 hand-painted cleats created in tribute to the cultures and football traditions of the Confederation’s nations; The Vault, a museum-like exhibit of trophies, jerseys, medals, photos, video, and game-used memorabilia from across the region; and interactive activities such as the Skills Zone, Sit Soccer, and Gaming Zone. Fans and families will also be able to enjoy Studio 41, a creative area for younger guests, and the Chill Zone, offering ice cream flavors inspired by the many cultures that shape Concacaf.
Following Vancouver, Concacaf House will continue in Miami on Lincoln Road from June 11 through July 19 and in New York at The Oculus from July 4 through July 19, aligning with FIFA World Cup 2026 matches through the closing stages of the tournament and the final, and giving more fans the opportunity to experience the Confederation in person.
“Concacaf House is a powerful expression of who we are as a Confederation. All 41 Member Associations, each with its own identity, history, and pride, brought together by a shared love for our game,” said Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani. “To open the first Concacaf House in Vancouver makes this especially meaningful for me personally. It’s my home city and it has been such an important part of my journey in the game, and Canada’s growth as a football nation has been one of the great privileges of my career to witness and support. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 coming to North America and our region, Concacaf House will offer fans a place to experience the passion, cultures, and stories that define our Confederation.”
Concacaf House is part of the Confederation’s broader effort to show the world the depth, character, and unity of its region during one of the most important moments in global football. By bringing together fans, stories, and experiences from across its 41 Member Associations, Concacaf House will offer a welcoming space that reflects both the individuality of its nations and the strength of the Confederation as one.
