Whitecaps FC is gearing up for a special home match at Starlight Stadium in Langford this Wednesday (Feb. 7) and, in a move to embrace the local community, the club has unofficially changed its name for the next three days.
The new temporary name, Vancouver Island Whitecaps, has been changed in club avatars and limited-edition merchandise will be sold in the stadium on Wednesday, during the game against Mexico side Tigres UANL.
