Two distinct Arabic dialects — Gulf (Qatar) and Egyptian — play in Vancouver. Routing to the correct dialect is critical; they are not mutually intelligible in emergency contexts.

Belgium's fanbase is bilingual — French (Walloon) and Dutch/Flemish. Officers should be prepared to route for either language depending on the individual.
Alert Canada plays twice in Vancouver — June 18 and June 24: Host nation home matches generate the largest crowd volumes in any World Cup. Qatar and Switzerland fans add Gulf Arabic and German/French to an already high-demand environment. Vancouver runs through the Round of 16.
