Welcome to a historic, month-long community festival bridging 10,000 years of West Coast heritage with the global excitement of the FIFA World Cup 2026! Hosted by the Hupacaseth First Nation in an equal partnership with the Tseshaht First Nation and Huu-ay-aht First Nations, this free, fully accessible community celebration brings the world stadium experience straight to our doorsteps.

Proudly funded by the Province of British Columbia through a $90,000 grant from the 2026 Community Event Support Fund, our festival centers around a spectacular 9-day live broadcast schedule. Matches will be streamed on massive, high-definition big screens across two primary regional hubs: the Kinsmen Community Centre (KCC) in Port Alberni and a special coastal community satellite gathering at the House of Huu-ay-aht Gym in Bamfield.

This initiative goes far beyond the matches. Working in close cooperation with the Alberni Athletics Soccer Club, the City of Port Alberni, and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD), we are building a lasting regional legacy. Together, we are creating unforgettable memories and bringing Truth and Reconciliation to life through sport, culture, youth clinics, and community unity. Join us as we make history in the Valley!
