Telus Canadian Championship to go down to four teams this week after lengthy layoff

ALBERTA, CANADA, JUL 7 – Four teams compete in quarterfinals to reach semifinals after a seven-week break; tied aggregates decided by penalty shootouts with no away goals rule, organizers said.

  • The 2025 TELUS Canadian Championship quarterfinal second legs continue this week, with Valour FC traveling to face Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday at BC Place Stadium for a crucial matchup.
  • This return leg follows a 2-2 draw in the first leg on May 20 where Valour's CPL team surprised the defending champion Vancouver, who seek a fourth straight title.
  • Valour’s coach Phillip Dos Santos acknowledges steep odds but highlights his team’s competitive performance and the chance to win with no away goals rule in effect.
  • Vancouver faces setbacks with key players such as Emrick Fotsing sidelined due to injury, while former assistant coach Dos Santos has praised the Whitecaps as among the top clubs across North America and the broader CONCACAF region.
  • The match outcome will decide semifinalists and includes a live OneSoccer draw for semifinals and hosting rights, marking a pivotal moment for both clubs after a lengthy competition pause.
