Christine Sinclair Joins Ownership of Vancouver Rise FC

The Canadian soccer legend becomes part owner as the Northern Super League prepares for its inaugural season.

Christine Sinclair, the world's top international goal scorer, joins the ownership group of Vancouver Rise FC, alongside majority owner Greg Kerfoot.
The Northern Super League, a new professional women's soccer league in Canada, will begin its first season in April 2025 with teams in six cities, including Vancouver.
Sinclair announced her retirement from professional soccer at the end of the current NWSL season with the Portland Thorns, after a storied career with 190 international goals.
Her involvement with Vancouver Rise FC aims to inspire young girls in British Columbia and across Canada to pursue opportunities in soccer, whether as players, coaches, or managers.
Vancouver Rise FC plans to announce player signings and a head coach in the coming weeks, as part of their preparations for the league's launch.
