VANCOUVER, BC (March 3, 2025) - Vancouver Rise FC announced its preseason roster ahead of the club’s second season in the Northern Super League (NSL).
Rise FC’s preseason roster features 24 senior players, including 19 returning from last year’s championship winning squad, and five new signings. The players returned to the National Soccer Development Centre last week, as the preparations for their NSL Champion title defense get underway.
This off-season saw Rise FC gain notable international and domestic talent. North Vancouver’s own Mia Pante came back home on loan from AS Roma earlier this month, while Canadian international defender Sura Yekka and Laval, Québec-native Audrey Francois joined at the turn of the year. Two-time Colombian Liga Femenina BetPlay DIMAYOR champion Camila Reyes and Colombia U20 rising star Maithé Lopéz round out the additions as Rise FC look to make it back-to-back championships in 2026.
