VANCOUVER - Vancouver will host Canada's first-round tie with Brazil in the Davis Cup Qualifiers, Tennis Canada announced Thursday.

The best-of-five tie will take place Feb. 6-7 at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre on the University of British Columbia campus.

The winner will advance to the second round of qualifying for the international men's tournament, set for September 2026.
