It was always on supporters & passion from the community to make things happen. God bless @redriverrising.ca & their efforts, love, talents, & support. They consistently out-marketed the club itself.

Look at that sticker below their poster.

Never quit.

It’s time to build

A close-up shot of a black metal post with a sticker on it. The sticker promotes Valour FC, a professional soccer team in Winnipeg. It features the team's logo, a QR code, and text inviting people to support the team. There is also a small, white sticker below it that says "NEVER QUIT" with a small red heart. The background is a blurry street scene.

A message from the @redriverrising.ca board:

#ValourFC #CanPL
A graphic titled "A STATEMENT FROM THE BOARD" with a faded Red River Rising logo in the background. The text reads: "On behalf of the Red River Rising board, we are deeply saddened by the announcement today. When RRR was established in 2018, our vision was to be unmistakable in our identity at the stadium and in the community. To leave a positive and lasting impression before, during, and after games. To be a driving force behind the team. To grow the game of soccer in Winnipeg. As this chapter with Valour closes, we will take the next steps in determining our path forward as a community. We will take time to reflect on our successes, failures and all the wonderful memories from the last seven years. As Valour supporters, we are nothing if not resilient. We will rise together."

Valour FC has folded.

“Investing wisely means focusing resources where they create the greatest long-term impact for the League… there is no sustainable path forward for Valour FC at this time,” says a statement from the CPL.

#CanPL loses another first-year club.

Valour supporters are some of the realest out there. It is a shame the greey fucks in a Winnipeg boardroom treated them so poorly.

We'll see you soon again @redriverrising.ca.

We're hoping that when the official update on #ValourFC arrives, it's good news and we can begin to plan for the 2026 season.

Valour FC is cherished, and loved. Winnipeg deserves a #CanPL club. But we also deserve committed ownership who make genuine efforts to connect with the local community.

A digital flyer advertising a Valour FC match viewing event. The flyer has a blurry background of bokeh lights. In the top left corner is the logo for "RED RIVER RISING" featuring a bison's head inside a circle. The text "VALOUR FC MATCH VIEWING" is written in a handwritten font. The central part of the flyer provides details: a soccer ball icon, the date "JUL 13", and the time "5:00PM KICKOFF". The opponent, "York United", is listed below the kickoff time. A logo for "ELEPHANT & CASTLE PUB AND RESTAURANT" is shown below the match details. The address "350 Saint Mary ave" is written in bold, and a note at the bottom states, "Reservation opens 30 mins prior to kickoff".

Tonight #ValourFC hosts an #MLS side for the first time! Its the first leg of the #CanChamp quarter finals and it's a match that matters, so go out and pick up a ticket for kickoff at 730pm.

It's going to be awesome!

The new #ValourFC kits dropped tonight.

#CanPL #VFC #ForValour
This image appears to showcase the 2025 alternate kit for Valour FC, a Canadian Premier League team. The design features a gradient from white to a golden hue, resembling a prairie sunset. The club crest and OneSoccer sponsor logo are prominently displayed. The kit also draws inspiration from military medals, as noted in the description. This image showcases the 2025 primary kit for Valour FC, a club in the Canadian Premier League. The design features black and gold vertical stripes with red accents, which are representative of the team's identity. The close-up details highlight the fabric texture, stitching, and the club's crest, which prominently displays "Valour FC" and "Winnipeg." The kit is manufactured by Macron and includes sponsorship branding from "OneSoccer." The overall aesthetic pays homage to the region's heritage and the club's strong presence in the league.
