Built on the backs of retired female players, B.C.’s first pro women’s soccer team, Vancouver Rise FC, are heading to the first-ever NSL Final. ⚽🔥⁣
⁣
From their historic home-opener to first playoff berth and a 2–1 semi-final win over Ottawa Rapid FC, Rise FC prove what happens when you listen to players. 💪⁣
⁣
Christine Sinclair (co-owner) continues her push for pay equity, Olympic gold medalist Stephanie Labbé leads as sporting director, and Sinead King brings operations expertise. Rise FC isn’t just a team, it’s a movement. 🏔️⁣
⁣
Sports history was made at BC Place as 14,018 fans watched Rise FC beat Calgary Wild FC 1-0. Swangard Stadium then regularly hosted 4,000+ fans per game, showing the city’s hunger for women’s soccer. 🏟️⁣
⁣
Now, it all comes down to this: Follow vancouverrisefc & tune in Nov 15, 2 PM ET for the inaugural NSL Final. Let’s cheer them, and AFC Toronto, on as they battle to become the first-ever NSL champions! 🏆 #thegist⁣
