“It is a thrill to be able to share a date for our first home match in Vancouver FC’s history, as we continue to work hard behind the scenes to get our club ready to take the field,” said Vancouver FC President Rob Friend.

“Bringing the Canadian Premier League to Langley is a point of pride for us, as is bringing our stadium, training facility and offices to the community. More soccer-specific infrastructure is key to growing the game at all levels in Canada and we are happy to be adding another piece to that puzzle.”

When the CPL announced plans to expand to the Vancouver area, it said the Vancouver-area club would call Willoughby Community Park in Langley home, with plans to build an open-air stadium.
