Priso is back as a CB, giving Halbouni a break on the bench after a number of matches starting.

Gauld is on the bench as well. Elloumi leads the line.

The #NSL have their trophy!

Introducing the Diana B. Matheson Cup, to be awarded to the winner of the NSL Final.

The cup is named after the founder of the NSL, Matheson, unanimously chosen by the league's Board of Governors.

Strong line-up for #VWFC. Halbouni is back and Ellouni leads the line.

Ahmed and Sabbi will cause problems for VFC's backline.
October 2, 2025 at 1:21 AM
Müller is back in the starting XI between Sabbi and Ahmed.

But with injuries to all CBs, the backline looks put together with duct tape. Priso moves back alongside Laborda to make up the numbers.

And with that, #VanRiseFC have clinched the final playoff spot for the 2025 #NSL playoffs!

Big night for Elloumi tonight as he gets his first start.

Changes to the back as Bovalino comes in for the suspended Ocampo. Priso takes Cubas's spot as he's suspended as well.

Laborda takes a spin at CB to cover for the injured Blackmon. That brings Johnson back in at LB.

Cabrera gets his first start as well in the no. 10 role.

#VanRiseFC have a brand new mascot!

Introducing Sunny, the goat!

BC is home to over half the world's mountain goat population. The mascot is also a subtle nod to BC's own soccer G.O.A.T. and Rise part-owner, Christine Sinclair.

A bit different for #VanRiseFC with De Filippo out suspended.

Could still be a 4-3-3 with Chang or Pechersky pushed forward. Could be a 4-4-2 with Ward and Abdu up top.

We will see!
