"Vancouver Whitecaps FC supporters are the most awesome because game in and game out they give their all to make BC Place our fortress and the best sporting atmosphere in Vancouver. They spend the entire match cheering, chanting, and singing to provide the energy that keeps our players going when other would tire. The 'Caps players give their all every game, but our fans push them to dig deep and give that little bit more. We play awesome when we have our awesome fans behind us because they never disappoint" |

“I love our fans for a number of reasons – one, because they know soccer. Not every market in the world, and especially in North America, are fans knowledgeable about the sport. And I’d definitely say that in Vancouver we have a knowledgeable fan, a passionate fan, and a fan that really cares about their team. I think fans are the lifeblood of what we do. I think that they make or break an organization. We’re very lucky that we have some of the best fans in North America right here on our doorstep.”
- Jay Demerit, Defender
"I love our fans because of their endless support and passion for the club." - Jordan Harvey, Defender
"I love our fans because they always show up to every game and support us. They're always there, no matter what."
- Omar Salgado, Forward
"I love our fans because they represent the true sense of the word of being a supporter. In my first game, I remember one of our players missing the ball and I was ready to wince for the potential calls to come out from the crowd. There's never been any ill feeling or anything other than support through the good times and bad."
- Andy O'Brien, Defender
"I love our fans because they're among the best fans in MLS. I remember my first game, it was the biggest crowd I've ever played in front of. My mind was blown away by the support they give to the team. You can see in our home games we play different than we do in our away games and a big part of that is the fans and the atmosphere they create."
- Kekuta Manneh, Forward
"I love our fans because they're very passionate and committed. They wear their shirt with pride. They
support the boys very well and they represent the city very well. They are fantastic fans”
- Nigel Reo-Coker, Midfielder
"I love our fans because when we play at home they become the 12th man on the pitch for us. Even when we're on the road, we feel their support. We definitely have one of the best fan bases in MLS."
- Russell Teibert, Midfielder
