Get a picture on the pitch after Saturday's Whitecaps match (CONTEST)

Jun 16 2017, 4:05 am

After two weeks off, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are back on the pitch on Saturday, as they host FC Dallas at BC Place at 7 pm.

Winners of four of their last six matches, Vancouver is back in a playoff spot, although just barely. The Whitecaps are currently tied with Seattle and San Jose for fifth in the Western Conference, with only the top-six making the playoffs.

Immediately in their sights are FC Dallas, who sit in fourth-place in the West, four points up on the ‘Caps.

A win against Dallas won’t be easy, particularly without the services of Kendall Waston and Christian Bolanos, who are both expected to miss the match due to injury.

That could mean playing time for Alphonso Davies, the 16-year-old (wonder if his dad will join him on field for a photo as well?) who is back from his first appearance with the Canadian Men’s National Team.

Given that Sunday is Father’s Day, the Whitecaps are offering a cool promotion.

Get a Father’s Day pack to get post-match access to the pitch and an opportunity for a rare photo.
