They are the 17th team to join Major League Soccer. At the time the Vancouver franchise was unnamed, but decided a year later to keep the Whitecaps name.
Vancouver Whitecaps tickets - The team
Fans that purchased Vancouver Whitecaps tickets for the team's home opener saw their squad defeat Toronto FC, 4-2 in their first game in the league on March 19. The Whitecaps were unable to build any momentum off that inaugural win as they went winless in their next 14 matches. Tom Soehn is the team's head coach. Soehn played for the Dallas Burn and Chicago Fire, and was an assistant coach with the DC United before he became the Whitecaps' coach.
