The Vancouver Whitecaps FC are rewriting history. Under the guidance of a new head coach, the team has surged to unprecedented heights, notching a historic nine-match unbeaten streak—the longest in their MLS era. Most recently, they stunned Inter Miami CF with a 3-1 win (5-1 aggregate) to secure their spot in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup final, marking the first time in club history they’ve reached the final stage of the prestigious tournament.

Despite falling behind early in Fort Lauderdale, the ‘Caps showed resilience and composure—two traits entrepreneurs should admire. Goals from Brian White, Pedro Vite, and Sebastian Berhalter powered them to victory, supported by a brilliant assist from Emmanuel Sabbi and standout midfield play by Ali Ahmed. White, now fourth all-time in goals scored for the club, has tallied 11 this season, while Vite and Berhalter have both contributed to critical goals and assists throughout the tournament.

Even more intriguing is that all of this success comes as the Whitecaps are reportedly up for sale. The organization remains focused, productive, and poised for growth—an essential reminder for business owners that the right systems, culture, and leadership can ensure continuity even during major transitions.

From a business lens, the Whitecaps’ story offers three key entrepreneurial lessons:
1. Invest in leadership – A strategic leadership change sparked new energy and performance.
2. Build resilience – Like bouncing back after Miami’s early goal, successful businesses adapt quickly.
3. Position for opportunity – The Whitecaps didn’t just play to survive; they played to win and create value—even during a sale.

With the Champions Cup final scheduled for June 1 and a chance to host the match if results go their way, Vancouver's momentum is building. Win or lose, this season’s success is already a case study in excellence, strategy, and the power of believing in your vision.

What business goal are you aiming for that could benefit from this kind of bold thinking?
