VANCOUVER, BC – On Saturday afternoon at UBC Thunderbird Stadium, Whitecaps FC 2 (WFC2) will play their first-ever home playoff match in the United Soccer League.
It’s a big milestone for the club. A win on Saturday would be even bigger.
But regardless of the result, WFC2 have already won. One of the team’s primary goals is to push on young Canadians to Major League Soccer.
And this year, they’ve done that twice.
In July, 15-year-old Edmonton product Alphonso Davies became the first WFC2 player to sign with the first team, and 23-year-old Saskatoon native Brett Levis followed suit in August.
