Vancouver's reception of the 2026 World Cup hasn't gone unnoticed. Belgian superstar Kevin De Bruyne openly expressed his admiration for the atmosphere at BC Place Stadium following their dominant 5-1 victory over New Zealand. This win secured the 'Red Devils' top spot in Group G and a place in the Round of 16, where they will face Senegal. The 34-year-old playmaker described BC Place as a “true football stadium,” and fans chanted his name repeatedly throughout the match.

“This is my first time in Vancouver, and although I’ve spent very little time here, I can say the stadium is truly impressive. We felt the atmosphere on the pitch, and it was a pleasure for us to play here. Of course, it’s different from the stadiums we’re used to in Europe, but the experience was fantastic,” De Bruyne told the media.

The experienced Belgian also found the net in the emphatic win over New Zealand in their final group stage match.
