In December 2024 the owners of Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced the initiation of a process to sell the club.
This decision comes after careful consideration of the club's journey and reflection on what is required to ensure its continued growth and success. Major League Soccer, as well as the North American and global soccer markets, have evolved considerably since the ownership group came together in 2008. The club has grown to become a staple of MLS, reaching seventh in league attendance, doubling season ticket memberships over the past two years, and qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs in three of the past four seasons. The current ownership has built a solid foundation for Whitecaps FC – it is the right time for an owner with the scaled platform, resources and ambition to enhance the club’s ability to compete at the highest levels of MLS and steward the club in realizing its significant potential.
A Bright Future Ahead
While this marks the beginning of a new chapter for Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the focus remains unchanged: striving for excellence on and off the pitch, providing thrilling soccer experiences for fans, and supporting the next generation of soccer talent. The club intends to build on the momentum of an exciting 2024 and is actively preparing to take another step forward in 2025.
