The Vancouver Whitecaps are expecting a record-breaking crowd for their Mother's Day match against LAFC, fueled by their impressive season and undefeated streak.
The Vancouver Whitecaps FC are on the verge of setting a new MLS attendance record for the 2025 season. Their upcoming Mother's Day match against rivals Los Angeles FC is projected to draw over 21,000 fans to BC Place, a significant increase and a testament to the team's remarkable success this year. This anticipated surge in attendance is no coincidence, according to Whitecaps CEO and scouting director Axel Schuster. He attributes the excitement to the team's phenomenal performance, currently holding the top spot in the MLS Western Conference and boasting a record-breaking start to the season. Their recent triumph over Inter Miami CF in the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals, played before a record-breaking crowd of 53,837, further ignited fan enthusiasm. Schuster expressed delight at the prospect of fans spending their Mother's Day at the game, emphasizing that the team's performance on the field warrants such strong support. The Whitecaps are currently enjoying a 10-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, including a remarkable four-game winning streak in MLS play. This winning streak, coupled with their impressive 26 points earned in the first 11 matches (a feat matched only by the 2010 LA Galaxy), has created a buzz that extends beyond Vancouver. The upcoming match against LAFC promises to be a thrilling encounter, particularly considering LAFC's own impressive form and the anticipation for a potential preview of an MLS Cup Playoff matchup. With kickoff scheduled for 4 p.m. at BC Place, this Mother's Day promises to be a memorable one for the Vancouver Whitecaps and their passionate supporters.
