Whitecaps FC to kick off 2019 MLS season at home
December 20th, 2018
Vancouver Whitecaps FC will kick off their ninth season in Major League Soccer on March 2nd, 2019 at BC Place against Minnesota United FC.
The match will be the first time Whitecaps FC take the field led by Marc Dos Santos, who was hired as the club’s new head coach in November.
“We’re building a team that will be proud to wear the crest on their chest,” said Dos Santos. “There is a true passion for the club in Vancouver, and that brings a big responsibility to set a very high standard and live up to that support. We want to hear the fans in the stadium as we build towards a future that we hope will once again bring a championship to this city.”
2019 marks the 40th anniversary of Vancouver’s 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl title, when the Whitecaps famously brought the city a major North American championship, leading to an outpouring of more than 100,000 people packing downtown for the parade.
