Vancouver, BC – The Sidoo Family Giving Foundation’s impact on youth soccer in Vancouver is both profound and personal. Their commitment to the next generation is evident in their tireless support of initiatives like the Kidsplay World Cup of Soccer and Supra Soccer Academy, where they help young athletes unlock their potential both on and off the field.

The Kidsplay World Cup of Soccer is one of the foundation’s most powerful contributions. This year, nearly 500 kids from diverse backgrounds gathered at BC Place to compete in a celebration of talent, diversity, and sportsmanship. For many of these young athletes, it was the chance of a lifetime—an opportunity to showcase their skills on an international stage in one of the most iconic venues in Canada. BC Place, known for hosting world-class events, will also be the venue for the 2026 World Cup of Soccer, adding to the significance of this moment for the players.

David and Jordan Sidoo were on site at the event, their presence adding an extra layer of inspiration for the young athletes. They didn’t just support from afar; they were fully engaged, sharing in the excitement, cheering from the sidelines, and connecting personally with participants. Their joy and enthusiasm were palpable, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The smiles and laughter shared that day reflected the true spirit of the event—a celebration of community, talent, and hope for the future.

The Sidoo Family Giving Foundation, deeply involved in the event, provided scholarships to ensure that financial barriers didn’t prevent deserving players from participating. Their presence went beyond financial contributions; they offered mentorship, encouragement, and guidance, making sure each child felt seen and supported. Their belief in the potential of these athletes wasn’t just inspiring—it was transformative.

At Supra Soccer Academy, the foundation has made a significant impact by supporting business operations and providing mentorship to the athletes. Through their guidance and fundraising efforts, they’ve played a pivotal role in ensuring that athletes—regardless of their financial background—have the chance to train at an elite level. By providing scholarships and funding opportunities to send players to international tournaments, the foundation has helped open doors to a world of opportunities. But it’s not just about soccer—it’s about helping these athletes build the confidence and character to succeed in life. Through their efforts, Supra Academy has become a place where young players not only develop their skills but also their resilience, discipline, and leadership.

The Sidoo Family Giving Foundation’s love for soccer and unwavering dedication to the next generation is what ties these two initiatives together. Whether at the Kidsplay World Cup, where they watched young athletes chase their dreams on the field, or at Supra Academy, where they helped build a foundation for long-term growth, the foundation’s involvement is a testament to their belief in the power of sport to shape lives. Through their efforts, countless young athletes have been given the resources and opportunities to pursue their dreams—and with their support, these athletes have learned that the journey is just as important as the destination.

The Kidsplay World Cup was a moment of greatness for all involved—a reminder of what’s possible when young people are given the chance to shine. For David and Jordan Sidoo and the Sidoo Family Giving Foundation, it was another step in their ongoing mission to give back to the sport they love and to the young athletes who will carry it forward. With every tournament, every scholarship, and every moment of mentorship, the Sidoo Family Giving Foundation is helping to shape a brighter future for soccer—and for the next generation of players.
