Vancouver Whitecaps Clinch Fourth Straight Voyageurs Cup

In a spectacular display of attacking prowess, Vancouver Whitecaps FC have been crowned 2025 Telus Canadian Championship champions after defeating crosstown rivals Vancouver FC 4-2 in a memorable final. The victory marks the Whitecaps’ fourth consecutive Voyageurs Cup triumph and secures their place in the prestigious 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup.

The match delivered non-stop drama from the opening whistle, with the Whitecaps establishing early dominance through a devastating attacking display. The scoring opened in the 5th minute when Ahmed found the net, followed just five minutes later by a clinical penalty kick conversion from Thomas Müller. Vancouver FC managed to pull one back through Elage Bah in the 35th minute, but any momentum was quickly extinguished when Ahmed completed his brace just one minute later, restoring the two-goal cushion.

The second half saw Vancouver FC push forward relentlessly, but the Whitecaps defense held firm until the dramatic closing stages. Ryan Gauld appeared to seal the victory for the Whitecaps in the 83rd minute with a composed finish, only for Vancouver FC’s Nicolás Mezquida to answer back two minutes later with a consolation goal.
