鈥淚t has been 23 months since we were last able to showcase our women鈥檚 and men鈥檚 soccer teams at home, and I鈥檓 so excited for our student-athletes to once again play in games that matter and to have fans in the stands to cheer them on,鈥� said Tom Huisman, UBCO鈥檚 director of athletics and recreation.

Fans attending the games will be able to show proof of full vaccination through their provincial vaccine card or by showing an ID and their vaccine record. For all remaining home games, only the B.C. vaccine card will be accepted. Staff will be present to check the vaccine status of fans.
