Vancouver Whitecaps FC will begin their first journey in the U-13 CONCACAF Champions League this Saturday, with the tournament happening July 23 to 30 in Mexico City. Like their first team counterparts, the U-13s will face teams from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. This is the youngest age group to compete in a CONCACAF-sanctioned tournament.
The ‘Caps will be led by head coach James Merriman, who has been coaching full-time with the club’s Pre-Residency and academy centres since 2014. He will be assisted by long time ‘Caps Residency coach and now academy centre director Bart Choufour.
