History
Prior to the MLS Next Pro iteration the team played its home games at UBC's Thunderbird Stadium and competed in the United Soccer League.[1]
On November 17, 2017, the Whitecaps announced they were disbanding WFC2 and entering an affiliation agreement with USL expansion team Fresno FC.[2]
On December 6, 2021, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC were named as one of 21 clubs that would field a team in the new MLS Next Pro league beginning in the 2022 season.[3][4] The team moved to Swangard Stadium and would continue to play under the Whitecaps FC 2 name, with a rebrand scheduled for 2023.[5] They retained the name and logo for the 2023 season.[6]
