Our staff is looking forward to working closely with this team as we prepare for the challenge ahead in August." - Luca Dalla Pace, Head Coach, Team BC Men’s Soccer

In a short time, they’ve shown a deep commitment to building a strong team culture, rooted in genuine connection and mutual support — it’s been truly inspiring to witness. As we head into the Canada Summer Games, we do so with immense pride in representing British Columbia, and with a shared sense of purpose that I believe will guide us both on and off the field." – Niko Marcina, Head Coach, Team BC Women’s Soccer
