VanU FC is proud to announce that three of our BCSPL players, John and Nolan (left & right, 2013 age group), and Ryan (centre, 2012 Goalkeeper), have been invited to join the Vancouver Whitecaps MLS Academy!

This milestone marks an exciting next step in their development pathway and reflects their hard work, commitment, and passion for the game.

VanU Technical Director, Gus Karvelis, shared:
“We are extremely proud of John, Nolan, and Ryan for their commitment, dedication, and passion over the years. What began in our Second Kicks program progressed into our BCSPL environment, and now all three players are starting their journey with the Vancouver Whitecaps.

I would also like to recognize and congratulate their previous coaches, as well as their current coach Mike Abdi, for their role in supporting and fostering the players’ development. These promotions are a testament to both player dedication and the strength of coach development within our club.”

VanU FC continues to take pride in creating a clear player development pathway, supporting athletes from grassroots through to high-performance opportunities.

We are incredibly proud of all three players and will be cheering them on as they begin this exciting new chapter.

Congratulations, John, Nolan, and Ryan! The entire VanU community is behind you!
