The FIFA Congress is underway.

A small, but vocal crowd for #savethecaps is outside the Vancouver Convention Centre to protest news about the potential relocation of #vwfc

A new @terminalcityfc.bsky.social podcast is out! - #VWFC win against Colorado - #SavetheCaps continues amidst relocation news - #VanRiseFC lose NSL opener - Spurs...win? And more!

#vwfc have released a statement in regards to reports of club relocation that came out earlier today. #savethecaps www.whitecapsfc.com/news/april-c...

In front of a sell-out crowd, #VWFC dismantled Colorado Rapids at BC Place in a 3-1 win. It was a night also marked by the #SavetheCaps movement. area51sportsnet.com/whitecaps-en...

PRO responded to questions after the #VWFC match about the decision to allow Navarro's goal: "There was no handball by Colorado #9 Navarro, he scores with his knee."

Vancouver Whitecaps FC: 3 (3.5 xG) vs Colorado Rapids: 1 (1.59 xG) #VANvCOL | #VWFC | #Rapids96 | #MLS | 🤖⚽

FT Thoughts: - 2nd half a bit nervy; Minoungou can ball - Caicedo the difference-maker, again! - White brace; good to see him move up the Golden Boot board - A win for this sell-out crowd, electric - Big referee questions tonight... #VWFC

88' - What a reaction save from Takaoka! #VWFC

85' - GOAL - Caicedo gets his revenge! What a pass into White for the #VWFC's third (fourth?) goal of the night!

77' - GOAL - Caicedo, you speed demon! What a run from the centre, gets on the ball, played into his path. He is bungled over by the defender, but still manages to get a shot off. #VWFC

73' - Brilliant ball into the 28-yd box by Berhalter for Caicedo. The Ecuadorian plays it over the White, who slides into it, but cannot knock it into the net. #VWFC

68' - SUB - Caicedo is coming on. Sabaly is off. #VWFC

#VWFC attendance: 27,589 It's a sold-out crowd at BC Place!

53' - Great run from Badwal to chase the ball down the left. He cuts in, steps over, and gets the ball to Sabaly. The shot is a half-effort though, and goes wide of the far post. #VWFC

45' - SUB - Sabbi is subbed off. Badwal is in. #VWFC

HT Thoughts: - a frenetic 30 minutes to start,#VWFC dominating - multiple opportunities from several players--White, Sabbi, Sabaly, Müller - Handball on the Rapids' goal? - Colorado really stretching wide - 'Caps on corners? Several different set plays used tonight #VWFC

32' - GOAL - Navarro bungles it on over Sealy, who looked to take down Johnson. Takaoka makes the initial save, but is unable to keep out the rebound. #VWFC

30' - Takaoka is finally called into play with a decent save. #VWFC

23' - GOAL - White keeps tallying! Cubas passes up to White, who shoots early, catching Steffen out of his net. Still a lot of work to do for the American, but it's a calm finish. #VWFC

18' - in and #VWFC already have 1.27 xG. And a goal from that too.

7' - GOAL - Sabaly hits early! Crossed over by Ocampo, it goes over everyone, but finds Müller coming in late on the left. The German taps it over to Sabaly, and he puts it past Steffen. #VWFC

3' - Solid corner from Berhalter Sabbi is up for the header, but it's wide of the near post. #VWFC

Game on! #vwfc #savethecaps

Sabaly comes in for Caicedo, but expect to see the young Ecuadorian sometime in the 2nd half. Great to see Veselinovic on the bench! #VWFC #SavetheCaps

It's the final MLS home match for #VWFC (7W-0D-1L) as they take on the Colorado Rapids (4W-1D-4L) at BC Place. These two split the series last season.

BC Place is ready for #savethecaps ! #vwfc

On the night #VanRiseFC raised their 2025 NLS champions banner, it was AFC Toronto who took the three points. I have the post-match report of the Rise's 3-2 loss here. area51sportsnet.com/toronto-play...

FT Thoughts: - Early defensive changes forced #VanRiseFC to absorb too much pressure, not sustainable - Okoronkwo is a player all NSL clubs will have to figure out - Toronto never looked out of control - So many defensive injuries hurt the Rise - Reyes is the real deal

86' - SUB - De Filippo is off. Kindel is on. A debut for the youth call-up. #VanRiseFC

#VanRiseFC attendance: 4,723 A sold-out crowd!

72' - GOAL - Okoronkwo gets a turn on the rebound, initially from Cathro, and hits it low under McAslan. #VanRiseFC

69' - Bout plays a nice ball to Abdu. The striker's pace puts her beyond the Toronto defender. Abdu crosses into De Filippo, but the shot is wide. #VanRiseFC

64' - 🟨 - Stanton. #VanRiseFC

61' - GOAL - The ball is crossed in for Stratigakis, who heads it beyond McAslan. 2-2 #VanRiseFC

58' - SUB - Lee is off. Stanton is in. #VanRiseFC

45' - SUB - Lopez is on for Reyes. #VanRiseFC

HT Thoughts: - #VanRiseFC have been clinical when needed - Reyes is one to watch - Okamoto-Okoronkwo battle has been strong - McAslan has been busy...too busy? - Nothing from Hunter...yet. But she was a Rise killer last season...

45+1' - 🟨 - Reyes takes down a Toronto player at the centre spot from behind. #VanRiseFC

41' - GOAL - Abdu, with a strong solo run, gets one over Cota-Yarde to put #VanRiseFC up 2-1! Cota-Yarde had a piece of the shot, but the ball went up and over.

32' - Another quality save from McAslan on the chested ball off the high cross. The #VanRiseFC GK has been busy this half.

31' - Abdu hits one over the crossbar. #VanRiseFC

29' - Fantastic save by McAslan! #VanRiseFC

19' - GOAL - A debut goal for Reyes! The midfield comes pounces on the loose ball at the edge of the 18-yd box and unleashes her shot, hitting the underside of the crossbar and bouncing inside the line. 1-1 #VanRiseFC

8' - GOAL - Burns gets on the ends of a low cross in from the left. With Toronto's start, that goal has been coming. #VanRiseFC

4' - Good save from McAslan as the shot comes in low to the left. #VanRiseFC

Game on! #VanRiseFC

Quinn takes the armband for the first match of the season, with Woeller still injured. Starts for newcomers Yekka and Reyes. #VanRiseFC
