NSU to Whitecaps

NSU and Elite Soccer Academy Players Noah & Chido Join Vancouver Whitecaps Residency

We’re thrilled to announce that two more Elite talents, Noah and Chido, have officially been selected to join the Vancouver Whitecaps Full-Time Residency Program—one of the top youth development environments in the country.

Both players, born and raised in Edmonton, came through the ranks at North Side United and made a big impact at our Elite x PSC Showcase last August. Their performances were composed, intense, and packed with quality, earning them trial invites and, ultimately, full-time spots with the Whitecaps.

The Residency Program is a huge step in any young player's journey, offering elite coaching, a professional environment, and direct pathways into MLS and beyond. Noah and Chido’s progression shows that with the right exposure and performance, doors can open.

We couldn’t be more proud and excited to see what comes next for these two rising stars. The journey is just beginning, and PSC will always be in their corner.
