Whitecaps FC are honoured to have Xavier Evanson from BC Children's Hospital as Kid Captain for Saturday's home match against Minnesota United FC.
Xavier is a brave seven-year-old receiving treatment for cancer at BC Children's Hospital. He was diagnosed in July 2022, mere weeks after signing up for his very first soccer team. After two long years of longing to play on a team, he was able to begin last month. Xavier loves the game. He has practiced in the backyard with his brothers throughout his cancer treatment. He is strong and determined to have fun and do his best. The tenacity and courage it took to fight cancer helps him be the best he can be on and off the field.
Please join in welcoming Xavier to the match!
