An honest Axel today about the #VWFC situation with BC Place and ownership.

The club continues to look at how it can stay in Vancouver, but the pathways to do so are shrinking. Long-term finances for any potential buyer remains the sticking point and not having a stadium is key.

Blackmon is a no go to Miami. In fact, #VWFC are looking to extend the player's contract.
A statement from Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster on the Blackmon to Miami rumours.

This feels like it has a lot more legs on it. Miami being very aggressive in their pursuit

#VWFC had the 17th and 29th overall picks in the first round of the MLS SuperDraft.

They chose four players overall. I take a look at each one.

Looks like #VWFC will be back in Leagues Cup for 2026 after taking last year off.

This means the 'Caps will be in four competitions this coming season: MLS, CONCACAF Champions Cup, the Canadian Championship and Leagues Cup.
