Kid Captains
Whitecaps FC are honoured to have Weston and Bennett Openshaw from BC Children's Hospital as Kid Captains for Saturday’s Decision Day match against Los Angeles FC.

In April of 2022, Weston was diagnosed with Leukemia. At the time, doctors told his parents that his identical twin, Bennett, had a 20 per cent chance of developing Leukemia. Four months after Weston's diagnosis, Bennett was also diagnosed with Leukemia. It's been an emotional, and physical marathon for Weston and Bennett's family. Despite their diagnosis, and with the help of the dedicated team at BC Children’s Hospital, the boys are their usual rambunctious selves.

Please join in welcoming Weston and Bennett to the match!

Supporter of the Match
Saturday’s supporter of the match will be Iain Allen from the Southsiders supporters group.

Iain has been a season ticket holder for more than 20 years, since 2002, and a fan of the ‘Caps since 1984. His favourite part about being a member of the Southsiders is being around a group as excited about Whitecaps FC as much as he is.
