2026 shaping up to be \u2018special\u2019 year for Surrey United Soccer Club<\/p>\n
Published 4:00 pm Friday, June 12, 2026<\/p>\n
This year is shaping up to be a \u201cspecial\u201d one for a local soccer association.<\/p>\n
Jeff Clarke, sporting director for Surrey United Soccer Club (SUSC), said with the 2026 FIFA World Cup in town, three recent club provincial <\/a>titles<\/a>, and the new facility the club is building at Cloverdale Athletic Park (CAP), 2026 will be a very big year for the club.<\/p>\n \u201cThe whole community, not just individuals but businesses too, everyone is rallying around the club,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a special year.\u201d<\/p>\n Clake said there are too many businesses to mention everyone by name, but the club is extremely grateful for the help and support.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are so many of them,\u201d he added. \u201cI can\u2019t even tell you how blown away we are with all the support. We have a special community here in this city. The players on the field are feeling the fruits of everyone\u2019s labour.\u201d<\/p>\n Those \u201cfruits\u201d are going up quickly at CAP as the new multi-million dollar training facility is being constructed at a rapid pace. The building will provide year-round covered training opportunities. It\u2019s set to open this fall.<\/p>\n Clarke noted SUSC is planning some special activities for the community during the World Cup. They\u2019ll be hosting open houses at the Big Red Barn at CAP where they\u2019ll show Canada games live on June 18 and June 24. The clubhouse will be open to all members of the community, not just club members.<\/p>\n They\u2019re also running several \u201cactivations\u201d across the city during the World Cup. They\u2019re doing a few at Central City and they\u2019ll do one Canada Day on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.<\/p>\n \u201cOn Canada Day, the mayor will be speaking down at the Agriplex,\u201d Clarke said. \u201cSo we\u2019re doing, what we\u2019re calling, \u2018March to the Agriplex.\u2019 So our members will park at CAP and then we\u2019re going to walk down 64th to the Agriplex.\u201d<\/p>\n He said they\u2019ll have a police escort and hit the Fairgrounds in time to listen to the mayor\u2019s address. The walk will start at 2:30 p.m. and the general public is invited to take part in the unique event.<\/p>\n The mayor will speak at 4 p.m. and there will be a feature game on at 5 p.m. on the big screen. The World Cup will be in the knockout stages at that point, so the game will feature the winner of Group D or the winner of Group G in matches against a third place qualifier.<\/p>\n SUSC will be running an activities centre during that time. They\u2019ll have their club tent up. They\u2019ll offer tattoos for kids. There\u2019ll be drills and special shooting games. They\u2019ll have soccer bowling. And Clarke said many other activities that will interest families and children.<\/p>\n \u201cJust different things to keep the kids active and having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n For more info on Surrey United and what they are up to in 2026, visit: <\/a>surreyunitedsoccer.com.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026 shaping up to be \u2018special\u2019 year for Surrey United Soccer Club Published 4:00 pm Friday, June 12,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":733572,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,163792,87674],"class_list":["post-733571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-lower-mainland","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=733571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/733572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=733571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=733571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=733571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
