However, Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi told CSN that there was nothing to the rumours today.
He called the report “inaccurate” and said that the ‘Caps would be focusing on the men’s side of the club for the immediate future. He did not rule out eventual involvement in the women’s game, but said that that would only happen “when we’re ready.”
In the meantime, the ‘Caps will continue to focus on the youth side of the women’s game.
We will have more reaction and comment on this story soon.
