Vancouver Whitecaps Announce Ownership Group Sale

The Vancouver Whitecaps' ownership group, consisting of Greg Kerfoot, Steve Luczo, Jeff Mallett, and Steve Nash, has announced plans to sell the Major League Soccer team. This decision follows a reflective assessment of what is necessary for the club's future growth and success. Goldman Sachs has been hired to oversee the sale and transition process. Kerfoot, who acquired the team in 2002, along with his partners, helped the Whitecaps transition from the North American Soccer League to MLS by 2011. Despite a recent playoff appearance, the team parted ways with head coach Vanni Sartini, an indicator of a broader desire for change. MLS Commissioner Don Garber praised the ownership's contributions and expressed confidence in finding new owners to continue the club's legacy.
