<b>Meet Bart Choufour</b> |
Last year, the Pre-Residency boys performed very well against their MLS counterparts, and this year they will again proudly represent Whitecaps FC.
“This tournament gives us a great opportunity to match up against some of our MLS counterparts in Seattle Sounders FC and Portland Timbers,” said Bart Choufour, Whitecaps FC Pre-Residency head coach. “We are looking to be competitive while staying true to our Whitecaps FC playing style that we believe in. We want to be on the ball in the attacking third, play with intelligence, and play at a fast pace with fluid ball movement.”
