The Vancouver Whitecaps are in Florida as the club gets ready for a historic appearance in the Major League Soccer conference final. The matchup against Inter Miami marks the first time Vancouver has advanced this far in the league’s post-season structure.
The Whitecaps face one of the highest profile opponents in MLS, with global star Lionel Messi leading Miami’s attack. Vancouver players say the spotlight does not change their focus. Midfielder Sebastian Berhalter told reporters he believes the team has the confidence and structure needed to compete for a place in the league championship match.
Saturday’s match will be closely watched by supporters across British Columbia, where the Whitecaps’ playoff run has sparked renewed interest in the club’s long term development and investment in young talent. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
