Vancouver police say one person was removed from BC Place stadium during the Australia vs. Türkiye match on Saturday, June 13.
Vancouver Police Department Sgt. Adam Donaldson said there were no major incidents on Saturday when Vancouver hosted its first FIFA World Cup match.
One person was arrested at the fan festival at the PNE grounds, he said. They were found to be in breach of their court-imposed conditions unrelated to the event.
At the stadium, one person was removed from BC Place during the match for intoxication and refusing to leave.
Donaldson said there were up to 1,200 officers deployed throughout Saturday, which he said the department felt those “resources were sufficient.”
He said the plan is the same for Thursday, June 18.
