Opening Night of Soccer Forever: FREE Museum Exhibition

Join us on May 28 at 7:00 PM at the Italian Cultural Centre for the opening of Soccer Forever, a special exhibition celebrating soccer’s powerful role in Vancouver’s Italian Canadian community and featuring the Collection of Randy Rinaldo, Frank Oliviero, Angela Mainardi, and ICSF Columbus.

With the arrival of FIFA World Cup 2026 in Vancouver, the city is gearing up for an unforgettable summer of soccer, and we’re excited to be part of it!

This exhibition explores soccer as identity, memory, and community, featuring decades of memorabilia from passionate collectors and stories from East Vancouver’s historic soccer culture.

Even in years when Italy is not on the World Cup stage, soccer remains at the heart of our culture, connecting generations, families, and traditions.

Opening night includes free light refreshments.

All are welcome. Come celebrate the game that continues to bring our community together.

Free admission. Donations in support of Il Centro help us continue offering cultural events like this.
