Attention Footy Fans!

#MLS, #CanPL, #L1BC, #NorthernSuperLg and more!

Great pickup for Halifax.

Was hoping #VanRiseFC would take a look, but it wasn't in the cards.

Positive move for Anchor, formerly of #VWFC.

Hopefully, he finds a place behind Stefan Frei, who just signed a new 2-yr contract with the Sounders.
NEWS | We have claimed goalkeeper Max Anchor off end-of-year waivers.

The 21-year-old has been in the Vancouver Whitecaps system since 2017.

The MOU is the first step of many, many more. Don't expect this process to be fulfilled overnight.

However, for #VWFC fans, this is very positive news and should be viewed as such.

Article will follow later today.

#VanRiseFC midfielder Lisa Pechersky has moved on after one season with the club.

Pechersky was a dominant forward for #VanRiseFC in their inaugural season, where they won the Diana B. Matheson Trophy. Finished with 4g/4a.

#VWFC and the City of Vancouver are holding a joint announcement tomorrow with 'Caps CEO & Sporting Director Axel Schuster and Mayor Ken Sim in attendance.

One wonders what may be discussed... 👀👀👀

#VWFC have drawn C.S. Cartaginés in the 1st Round of the #CONCACAF Champions Cup for 2026.

It's the second year in a row that the 'Caps have drawn against a Costa Rican club in the first round.

Vanni Sartini to Halifax Wanderers in the #CanPL?

Jordan Wilson of OneSoccer is saying discussions are nearing the end, and the former #VWFC head coach is close to a new job.

Being reported it could be announced as soon as tomorrow!

It was a good season for #VWFC by any metric. We sat with Sorting Director and CEO Axel Schuster and head coach Jesper Sørensen for year-end media.

@joshuarey.bsky.social has his thoughts.

One step too far.

#VWFC fought valiantly, but a couple of checked-out moments cost them as they lost 3-1 to Inter Miami in the #MLSCupFinal.

Match report is here.

By the stats, it was close. But the only thing they matter in the end are goals.

FT Thoughts:
- 2 off moments. That's all it took
- Cubas. Good all day. Shut off and got punished
- Strange sub to remove Ahmed
- #VWFC can hold their head high for what they achieved. No one expected them to make it this far
- Priso, Berhalter, Sabbi, Ahmed all highlights
December 6, 2025 at 9:45 PM
90+6' - GOAL - Allende seals the deal for Miami.

#VWFC
December 6, 2025 at 9:42 PM
86' - 🟨 - Laborda with the hip check.

#VWFC
December 6, 2025 at 9:32 PM
82' - SUB - Cabrera is coming on. Cubas is out.

All-out attack.

#VWFC
December 6, 2025 at 9:28 PM
74' - 🟨 - Cubas on Messi. Not a great 5 minutes from the defensive midfielder.

#VWFC
December 6, 2025 at 9:20 PM
71' - GOAL - De Paul.

Messi steals the ball from Cubas, gets it to De Paul who is all alone.

#VWFC
December 6, 2025 at 9:18 PM
67' - Gauld and Pupe are coming on. Ahmed and Priso are off.

Gauld was coming in for Müller, but they decided to change.

#VWFC
December 6, 2025 at 9:14 PM
66' - 🟨 - Blackmon

#VWFC
December 6, 2025 at 9:12 PM
62' - And Sabbi off the post. It bounces across to Ahmed, who hits the other post!

#VWFC
December 6, 2025 at 9:09 PM
60' - GOAL - Ali Ahmed, take a bow!!!!!

Sabbi plays the ball from the right to White at the edge of the 18-yd box. White, with his back to goal, finds Ahmed streaking in from the left.

American striker to Canadian winger annnnnnnnd GOAL!
