Kamloops United hits the road again this Friday, heading to Swangard Stadium for a matchup against TSS Rovers in what’s shaping up to be a defining early-season test for both squads.

The men’s side is still searching for its first points of the campaign after an 0-4 start, but the record doesn’t tell the full story. Kamloops has been in games, keeping margins tight, but hasn’t found the finish when it matters. That challenge only ramps up this weekend against a Rovers team sitting second in the table at 3-1-1. It’s a difficult spot to break through, but it’s also an opportunity. Taking points off a top side on the road would shift momentum quickly.

On the women’s side, the gap is narrower. Kamloops enters at 1-3 with three points, just behind TSS, who sits at 2-2-1 with seven. The standings reflect it, but so have the performances. The contests have been close, and there’s not much separating the two teams heading into this one. A result here doesn’t just close the gap, it reshapes that part of the table.

Both squads are in the middle of a heavy road stretch to open the season, which makes this weekend more important than it might look on paper. Grinding out points away from home now sets the tone for when the schedule flips later on.

Kamloops United FC heads to the Lower Mainland this weekend for a critical League1 BC doubleheader against Langley United. It marks the final road trip of the regular season for both the men’s and women’s teams, and with only two matches remaining, every minute carries weight.

For the men, the stakes are clear. After 14 games, Kamloops sits in fifth place with 20 points (6 wins, 1 draw, 6 losses), two points behind fourth-place Burnaby FC. They’ll need a result against a formidable Langley side to stay in the race.

Langley United, meanwhile, have quietly built one of the most consistent campaigns in the league. With 27 points from 14 matches, they sit second in the standings—just behind TSS Rovers and level on points with Altitude FC. Their home record has been strong, and with the playoffs already within reach, Langley will be looking to sharpen up before the postseason begins.

On the women’s side, Kamloops enters the weekend still looking to build on a promising few weeks. It’s been a challenging year, with the team sitting bottom of the standings with 6 points, but signs of growth and resolve have emerged. Langley’s women’s team, sitting mid-table with 15 points from 14 matches, will provide a tough test—but also an opportunity for Kamloops to showcase the fight that’s been brewing beneath the surface.

Kamloops United FC hit the road to North Vancouver for a League1 BC doubleheader against Altitude FC this past weekend. Though both sides returned without wins, there was plenty of things to look forward to as the season rolls on.

Men’s Match: KUFC scored twice with goals from Deyan Vujovic and Lachlan Will but this wasn't enough as a strong Altitude side put 4 into the KUFC net, losing 4–2. Despite the result, the Men sit 5th in the Men's Table and are still firmly in the playoff hunt. With a quick turn in performance this weekend they can still keep their postseason hopes alive.

Women’s Match: Up against the league-leading Altitude, Kamloops fought hard but couldn’t score, falling 5–0. While the scoreline was tough, the team was up against the league's best and an unbeaten side. Their development this season continues to be encouraging, even if results haven’t yet turned.

With those matches behind them, both teams head home energized. This weekend brings Leg 2 of the Reid Davidson Charity Shield vs. Nanaimo United FC, and there’s more than just league points at stake. It’s a chance for redemption, a title, and a meaningful tribute — and both squads will arrive at Hillside ready to make a statement.

After a long stretch on the road, Kamloops United FC is finally back at Hillside Stadium this Saturday for a highly anticipated League1 BC doubleheader. The men's side will face the Vancouver Whitecaps Academy, while the women's team takes on Vancouver Rise FC, marking their first matches back at Hillside in over a month.

The KUFC men are looking to bounce back and snap a three-game skid. Despite a tough run, they remain firmly in the playoff hunt, sitting in 4th place with 13 points. Their previous meeting with the Whitecaps ended in a hard-fought 1-0 win, and they'll be eager to repeat that performance in front of a home crowd. After showing flashes of strong attacking play earlier in the season, this match presents the perfect chance for the group to regain momentum and climb back toward the top of the table.

On the women’s side, KUFC continues to show resilience and growth through a challenging campaign. Coming off a high-scoring battle last weekend, the team will look to tighten things up defensively while building on the offensive sparks they’ve found in recent weeks. Their last matchup with Rise FC ended in defeat, but with home support behind them and plenty of progress made since then, they’ll aim to flip the script this time around.

It’s been a long wait, but Hillside is finally ready for League1 BC action again — and Kamloops United FC will be ready to make the most of being back on familiar ground.

Kamloops United FC heads to the Lower Mainland this Saturday, May 10, for a pair of important League1 BC road fixtures at Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver. The women’s team will take on Vancouver Rise FC Academy, while the men’s team faces off against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Academy.

The KUFC men’s squad enters the weekend flying high, sitting top of the League1 BC table with 10 points from four matches and an unbeaten record. Coming off a commanding 4-0 win over Nanaimo last weekend, the team looks to keep the momentum going against a struggling Whitecaps side that currently sits 8th in the standings with one win and four losses. Forward Dylan Hooper spoke to the team’s mindset heading into Friday’s clash:

“The team is feeling confident going into this weekend's game. We're really starting to come together as a squad. I'm excited to see what this group can accomplish together.”

On the women’s side, KUFC continues to push for their first win of the season after a narrow 3-2 loss last weekend on the Island. Despite a 0-4-0 record, the team has shown flashes of attacking quality and resilience, scoring multiple goals in recent outings. They’ll face a tough Rise FC team sitting mid-table with 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw (7 points). Head coach Haley Bartram shared her perspective on the team’s growth and focus:

“Every match is a step forward, and this weekend is another opportunity to show our resilience, unity, and focus on what we can control. The chemistry is building, and we are creating something special, one game at a time.”

With both teams looking to make a statement — one to stay at the top, the other to break through — Friday’s doubleheader at Thunderbird Stadium is set to be another exciting chapter in the 2025 season. The squad will be home again on May 17 to take on Burnaby FC at McArthur Island.
