Exciting Playoff Matchup: Pacific FC vs. York United in CPL Playoffs

In a thrilling rematch from last year, Langford’s Pacific FC (PFC) is set to face off against York United in the Canadian Premier League (CPL) playoffs once again. This time, the roles are reversed, with York United finishing fourth and hosting their first-ever home playoff match tonight.

York United enters the playoff opener with momentum from their best season yet, collecting 39 points and excelling on home turf. However, they have struggled recently at home, with only one victory in their last six matches at York Lions Stadium.
