VANCOUVER, BC – The stage is set.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today the rosters for Saturday’s charity alumni match, which will see alumni of the Vancouver 86ers face Whitecaps FC alumni from 1:45 p.m. PT to 2:45 p.m. PT at BC Place – prior to the Major League Soccer match vs. Colorado Rapids at 4 p.m. PT.
This is the 30th anniversary of the founding of the 86ers, who brought Vancouver back onto the professional soccer scene in 1986 after a two-year absence. The 86ers will go up against a Whitecaps FC side that features MLS fan favourites Jay DeMerit, Robert Earnshaw, Young-Pyo Lee, and Andy O'Brien.
