The Portuguese Community of Vancouver, or PCOV, has a vibrant history that traces its roots back to April 1962 when a dedicated group of individuals came together at the corner of Fraser and Kingsway. What started as a simple gathering spot for card games and soccer enthusiasts quickly blossomed into a cherished hub for the local Portuguese community.

The team at BFC loves playing and watching soccer, and the PCOV happens to be the “spot” to watch Portugal play in the Euros, Copa América, and more. We were so excited when we got the opportunity to redesign their branding, website, and menu. We wanted to bring Portuguese culture to life and to show how the PCOV has evolved into more than just a physical space; it’s a place where friendships were forged, traditions were celebrated, and connections were nurtured.
