Ticket prices are inflated for that game due to it being the host nation\u2019s opening match, meaning that prices are significantly more expensive than any of the matches offered in Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver is hosting seven FIFA World Cup matches, including five in the group stage and two in the knockout round.<\/p>\n<p>June 13: Australia vs. T\u00fcrkiye<br \/>\nJune 18: Canada vs Qatar<br \/>\nJune 21: New Zealand vs Egypt<br \/>\nJune 24: Switzerland vs Canada<br \/>\nJune 26: New Zealand vs Belgium<br \/>\nJuly 2: Round of 32<br \/>\nJuly 7: Round of 16<\/p>\n<p>The Round of 32 match will feature the winner of Group B, which is Canada\u2019s group, that also features Switzerland, Qatar, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
