This Saturday, Fresno FC – the official USL affiliate of Vancouver Whitecaps FC – kick off their inaugural season at home against fellow expansion side Las Vegas Lights FC (7 p.m. PT).
Four Whitecaps FC prospects are currently signed to Fresno FC. You can find the list of assigned players at whitecapsfc.com/USL.
Assistant coach Robert Earnshaw has also joined the Foxes by way of the ‘Caps, while Whitecaps FC president Bob Lenarduzzi is set to fly down to Fresno to take in the first match.
Las Vegas is an opponent that Vancouver fans will be familiar with, after a wild 3-2 win for the 'Caps in the Sin City during preseason.
