VANCOUVER — BC Place has become a spot where long-awaited dreams come true at the 2026 World Cup. Last Thursday, Canada captured its first-ever men’s World Cup victory at the stadium, and on Sunday, Egypt did the same.
For Egypt, it was Mo Salah’s night. The former Liverpool man, who has long borne the weight of the nation’s soccer hopes on his shoulders, delivered under the brightest lights. After a goal and an assist, he danced in the streets with fans, embracing a moment he had long dreamed of.
