NSL Vancouver Rise FC vs Calgary Wild FC
Vancouver Rise FC and Calgary Wild FC played to a fast-paced 1–1 draw on Saturday at Swangard Stadium in Northern Super League action.
The Rise, coming off a midweek win over Halifax, stuck with the same lineup and struck early. In the 12th minute, Holly Ward danced past two defenders on the left wing and teed up Mariah Lee, who fired in her second goal of the season with a low finish to the far post.
But Calgary hit back almost immediately. Five minutes later, Kahli Johnson unleashed a rocket from distance that beat Morgan McAslan cleanly to tie things up.
From there, the game opened up. Calgary pressed hard, forcing McAslan into several key saves, including a huge double stop in the first half. Johnson continued to be a menace, carving through Vancouver’s backline and coming close to a second after the break.
Calgary nearly stole it when substitute Taegan Stewart broke loose and hit the crossbar. At the other end, Vancouver had their moment too. Ward found space on a breakaway in the final minutes but hit the post.
The draw moves Vancouver to the top of the table with 11 points, while Calgary sits fourth. Both teams had chances to win it, but in the end, they split the points after a game that never let up.
Vancouver heads east next to face Montreal Roses FC on June 7 in a key matchup at the top of the table.

FWC26 The Voyageurs Lead a Sea of Red to BC Place Before Canada vs. Switzerland
On June 24, Vancouver streets were filled with red and white as Canadian soccer supporters gathered for one of the biggest matches in the country’s history. Hours before Canada‘s FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage meeting with Switzerland at BC Place, fans joined The Voyageurs for their traditional march to the stadium.
The procession began near Main Street, where supporters carrying Canadian flags, banners, and scarves quickly transformed the neighbourhood into a sea of red. Chants echoed through the streets as drums kept the rhythm, drawing cheers from passersby and creating an incredible atmosphere.
The Voyageurs have long been the heartbeat of Canadian soccer support, following both the men’s and women’s national teams across the country and around the world. Their organized marches have become a matchday tradition, bringing together longtime supporters and families attending their first international match.
One of the most touching moments of the march was the tribute to Canadian midfielder Ismaël Koné. Many supporters carried signs featuring the number 8, while others held them high as the procession made its way toward BC Place. The gesture came after Koné suffered a broken leg during Canada’s previous match against Qatar, an injury that ended his World Cup campaign.
With Vancouver serving as one of the host cities for FIFA World Cup 2026, moments like these have become just as memorable as the action inside BC Place. The march showcased the passion surrounding Canadian soccer and highlighted the growing connection between the national team and its supporters.
By the time fans reached BC Place, the energy was impossible to ignore. The sea of red carried its optimism into the stadium, creating a memorable atmosphere before kickoff. Canada ultimately came up just short, falling 2-1 to Switzerland, but the support on display throughout the march showed the growing passion behind the national team. Win or lose, the gathering was another reminder that Canadian soccer culture continues to grow with every match.

FWC26 Canadian Fans Turn Granville Street Into a Sea of Red After 6-0 World Cup Win
Canada‘s emphatic 6-0 victory over Qatar wasn’t just celebrated inside BC Place. As thousands of supporters poured out of the stadium, the party quickly shifted to Granville Street, where downtown Vancouver became a sea of red and white.
Fans carrying Canadian flags filled the sidewalks, chanting, singing, and celebrating one of the national team’s most memorable World Cup performances. Horns echoed through the streets and fans waved flags as the whole city gathered to cheer together. It was the kind of spontaneous celebration that only major sporting moments can create.
The atmosphere was electric but welcoming. Families, groups of friends, and visiting supporters all shared in the excitement, taking photos, high-fiving strangers, and soaking in a night that many will remember for years to come. Every corner of Granville Street seemed alive with energy as fans celebrated Canada’s commanding performance.
As photographers, these are the moments we love to capture. The emotion after the final whistle often tells a story just as compelling as the action on the pitch. Smiles, hugs, waving flags, and voices echoing through downtown painted a picture of a city fully embracing the FIFA World Cup.
