In Vancouver because that's where Canada wants to play ( they have leverage )
IFF is trying to schedule 2nd game if they succeed. they have hope for a game in Qatar.

why in Vancouver ??!

My understanding is that the Canadian federation wants to play the June 5 game against TM, as well as the June 9 game vs Curaçao, in Vancouver primarily for financial reasons - the stadium in Vancouver is larger and more modern, and it would give the Canadian federation the ability to generate more revenue and more ticket sales than stadiums in other cities.

Hard to imagine they would not make the same revenue (if not more) if played in Toronto. Having said that, Vancouver is a very nice town as well.

Yes, Toronto is a much larger and more prominent city, but its soccer stadium has a maximum capacity of 30,000; Vancouver's BC Place has a capacity of over 50,000, so they can sell more tickets, and thus generate more revenue, as well.

I see.

Imagine 50,000 expat Iranians cheering on TM! It would be biggest "home" town crowd they've had since COVID (even more than TM matches in Azadi, I think!)

Sorry for the non soccer related comment. But you know how our farsi speaking people add an "E" before a word that starts with an "S", like we say estrange when we mean strange... Well, in the above English article by FFIRI, they go backwards. The guys name is Estili, but when they write it in English, they go with Steely!!!! Never seen that before. Steely Dan is thinking about changing the band name.

LOL
yeah but i might have the answer to that. i use the farsi ffiri site since its more updated than the english one. then i just mark everything, rightclick and translate it to english with one click, so the funny Steely translation is googles/microsofts or some translationprograms fault.
