WORLD CUP STARS

It will be a star-studded affair at BC Place.

From LAFC, Canadian internationals Mathieu Choinière and Jacob Shaffelburg, as well as Korea Republic's Son Heung-min.

PRIDE MATCH

The August 1 match will also mark the 'Caps 13th annual Pride Match, presented by TELUS, celebrating the power of sport to bring people together, foster inclusion, and create a sense of belonging for all communities.

'CAPS CONTINUE TO PERFORM

At 10W-2L-2D, the 'Caps continue to build momentum with their best ever MLS start, and one of the best in MLS history. Whitecaps FC are one of only two teams to ever win eight of their first nine matches, alongside this year's San Jose Earthquakes.

In that time, the 'Caps have the best goal difference (+50), fewest goals against (50), and second most goals scored (100).

LEAGUES CUP IS COMING

Following the August 1 match, Whitecaps FC will quickly turn their attention to Leagues Cup, with a chance to add a major international trophy to the club's cabinet.

The 'Caps will host home matches against Mexican opposition on Tuesday, August 4 (included for season ticket members) against Atlante FC, and Friday, August 7 against FC Juárez, before playing at El Volcán in Monterrey, Mexico against Tigres UANL on Tuesday, August 11.
