Langley, BC – (April 17, 2024) – Vancouver FC is set to host its Partner Appreciation Game, presented by Canucks Autism Network, on Thursday, April 18, 2024 when the Eagles host Halifax Wanderers FC.
The match will serve as a way for Vancouver to announce, acknowledge and thank all the club partners who have joined the Eagles’ family at both a club and Canadian Premier League (CPL) level. These partnerships are essential to supporting the growth of VFC and the Canadian soccer landscape as a whole.
“We are very excited to showcase and thank our partners,” said Mark Marshall, Director of Partnerships & Hospitality, Vancouver FC. “It is through the support of these partnerships that VFC is able to succeed in growing the game locally and in Canada.
