Vasco Fry, Vancouver FC Mutually Parts Ways

Just one month out away from kickoff in the Canadian Premier League, midfielder Vasco Fry and Vancouver FC are mutually parting ways.

The 25-year-old had not been included in the club roster for the Champions Cup, but was listed on the squad for the 2026 Canadian Premier League season before today.

The Lima-born midfielder first arrived to Vancouver FC loan by way of the club’s Major League Soccer neighbours Vancouver Whitecaps in 2023. He became an instant starter under Afshin Ghotbi, returning on a free transfer one year later and racking up a total of 63 appearances for the Eagles over the last three seasons, registering five goals and four assists.

“The club would like to thank Vasco for his commitment and contributions to Vancouver FC and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours,” reads a release from Vancouver FC.

Fry’s time with the Whitecaps before his CPL spell saw him largely feature for Whitecaps FC 2, though he did embark on a short-term loan to the first team and made his debut in the 2023 Concacaf Champions League against Real CD Espana.

A dual citizen of both Peru and Canada, he’s also represented Peru at the U-17 level.

There will be be a Peruvian presence in Canada’s top flight, however, with Inter Toronto Football Club recruiting Sebastian Gonzales last month.

Vasco Fry isn’t the only Vancouver FC player under contract to leave the club ahead of the upcoming season, with defender David Norman Jr. opting to retire following the club’s continental clash against Cruz Azul.

There is some inbound talent to balance out the recent departures, however, with the Langley-based side adding veteran Swedish defender Isak Ssewankambo today.
