VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Rise have added a Canadian forward to their roster, signing Jessica De Filippo.
The 23-year-old from St. Lazare, Que., played with the Whitecaps FC women’s League1 BC team in July, making nine appearances across all competitions.
Rise sporting director Stephanie Labbé says in a release that De Filippo is a “talented attacking player” who the Northern Super League team is excited to see grow.
The five-foot-10 forward scored twice for the Whitecaps in the team’s interprovincial championship semifinal win over the Calgary Blizzard, then started all five matches in the inaugural CONCACAF W Champions Cup.
She previously played in Spain’s first tier Liga F and in the top level Frauen-Bundesliga in Germany.
De Filippo forward represented Canada at the 2018 FIFA U-17 World Cup and was called up to the senior women’s national team in 2019.
“At only 23-years-old, she has already gained a great deal of experience playing in top professional leagues,” Labbé said. “I’m excited to see her scoring goals in front of our fans.”
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 17, 2024.
