Vancouver Rise FC to Play Home Matches at Swangard Stadium

Vancouver Rise FC confirmed that the club will play home matches at Swangard Stadium during the inaugural 2025 Northern Super League (NSL) season.

“We’re proud to announce Swangard Stadium as the home of Vancouver Rise FC,” said club president Sinead King. “This iconic venue provides the perfect foundation to build a strong connection with our community and showcase top-tier women’s soccer. As we grow, we’re committed to working with our partners to enhance the stadium experience and create a home that reflects the ambitions of our club and our supporters.”

The NSL will feature a 25-game regular season schedule from April to November, followed by playoffs and a National Championship in Fall 2025. The complete schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.

“We’re thrilled to see the return of professional soccer to Swangard Stadium, and to support Vancouver Rise FC as they add another chapter to the storied history of this facility,” said City of Burnaby mayor Mike Hurley. “Bringing the Rise to Swangard is a natural fit – Burnaby is the hometown of the greatest player of all time, Christine Sinclair – and we are incredibly excited to see Burnaby residents embrace this team and organization as they inspire the future generation of Canadian women’s soccer stars.”

Swangard Stadium has been a pillar of soccer in the Lower Mainland for more than 50 years. From local and provincial competitions, to Canadian national teams, Vancouver 86ers, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Whitecaps FC 2, TSS Rovers, and League1 BC finals, the venue has long been a home for the soccer community.
