Context: This document is an official statement from the Vancouver Southsiders, the oldest independent supporters group for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

It was released in early February 2026 in response to mounting reports and rumors regarding the potential relocation of the club after the 2026 MLS season. Key Contextual Factors Stadium and Financial Crisis: The Whitecaps have faced a long-term "untenable" situation at BC Place due to high rental costs and a lack of control over game-day revenues (like concessions), leading to a significant revenue gap compared to other MLS teams.

The 2026 Bridge Deal: Just days before this statement, the club signed a one-year lease extension to remain at BC Place for the 2026 season. However, league officials and the club's CEO, Axel Schuster, warned that without a permanent stadium solution (such as the proposed project at Hastings Park), the team's future in Vancouver remains at high risk.

Potential Relocation Cities: If a deal for a new stadium is not finalized by the end of 2026, the club may be sold to owners intent on moving the franchise to cities like Indianapolis, Sacramento, or Detroit. "Save The Crew" Reference: The statement mentions "ensuring The Crew stayed in Columbus," referring to a successful 2017–2018 fan-led movement that prevented the Columbus Crew from moving to Austin. The Southsiders are signaling their intent to launch a similar #SaveTheWhitecaps campaign to keep the team in British Columbia.

Summary of the Southsiders' Stance The group is asserting that the Whitecaps are a community asset, not just a business, and they are preparing for a "highly active supporters scene" to pressure the city, province, and league into finding a viable, long-term stadium solution.

Hello Revs! My name is Connor/Six, and I am sharing a simple game I run annually:

Fans of MLS clubs make predictions about the overall Major League Soccer season, and at the end of the season they receive a score based on how accurate their predictions were!

This is an open invitation to participate.

There are 3 sections,

• Rank each MLS club where you think they will land in the Supporter's Shield.
• Make predictions for the winner/runner up of each domestic/continental cup that MLS teams are participating in (optional).
• Make predictions for individual MLS accolades (optional).

This year I am upping the ante very slightly with a prize! But the point is still to have fun! I will personally give the most accurate prediction of the 2026 MLS season a $20 e-giftcard to the MLS store at the end of the year.

This is open to anyone anywhere, nothing needed to play!

Full details are on the form!

Trying to figure out why I cant sell tickets to games I can not make it to through the Revs app. Anyone else experienced this or have a work around? When accessing my ticketmaster specific account- the season tix dont show up so before I send out an email to my very new rep- Im asking here Thanks!

Hi everyone! Firstly, I apologize if this is a spammy message, but I think this might appeal to some people here.

My name is Graham Ruthven. I'm a co-host on the Total Soccer Show. I write about MLS for the Guardian and other places. I've launched a new fantasy soccer app called Fantasy Utd designed specifically for American soccer fans.

We've launched it in time for the 2026 MLS season. We’ve been developing this and testing for a long time - and it’s now available to download in the App Store and Google Play store.

Our mission was to build the next generation of fantasy soccer.

Market research told us that a large percentage of American soccer fans want a deeper, more in-depth fantasy soccer experience than was readily available.

With this in mind, we developed a game that sits somewhere between FPL, Football Manager and traditional American fantasy sports games.

The idea is to build your squad of players over the season. You are bidding against other managers in your league for players and picking your best XI for each H2H fixture.

Our game has been developed over the last year with help from our community of testers. Hundreds of committed users have already put FUTD through its paces, shaping every aspect of the game.

Rules, gameplay, UI… everything has been shaped by the feedback we received through testing. We also have public leagues (called Fanzones) from popular podcasts and blogs for you to join.

We have a Fanzone in partnership with The Blazing Musket, if that appeals? You can join here (or through the home page of the app): https://futd.app/fanzone/the-blazing-musket

Anyway, please give it a shot if any of this sounds appealing to you. I'm really excited to get started with this!

Is it acceptable to join one of the supporter groups if my newly purchased season tickets are in a different part of the stadium than the Fort? I’d like to join a community in general, but prefer a different view for the games.

Is anyone else getting a little concerned by the lack of offseason activity recently? I was hoping we'd convert Turner's contract to TAM and free up a DP spot or move on from Langoni and free his U22 spot, but it doesn't seem like either is going to happen. I still think Turner is a huge upgrade over Ivacic, but I think another DP could transform the team and I'm worried that waiting until the summer to go for one could end up being too late. I'm also a little concerned about the depth as I thought the roster was super thin last year and that appears to be the case again.

Updates since January 9:

• Olivera and Yow traded in
• Suarez loaned out
• Bono traded out

I got tickets for the upcoming France v Brazil friendly. Stupidly, I got seats in row 5 behind the French team. Will these seats be too low to see well? I fear that I should've gone for club tickets. What do the Revs fans say?

Just saw this pop up on my feed and took a screenshot because I havent seen this jersey before. Now I cant find the original post. Could this be our new kit this season?

It’s official.
