Vancouver Whitecaps ink midfielder Pedro Vite to extension through 2029

By Canadian Press on June 27, 2025.

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps have signed midfielder Pedro Vite to a long-term extension.

The club announced the deal Friday, saying the deal stretches through the 2029 campaign.

Vite has 15 goals and 20 assists in 136 appearances with the ‘Caps, including five goals and a team-leading six assists across all competitions this year.

The 23-year-old has also made eight appearances for Ecuador’s men’s national team and helped the squad qualify for the 2026 World Cup earlier this month.

Vite first joined the Whitecaps in October 2021 from Ecuadorian first division side Independiente Del Valle.

Vancouver sporting director Axel Schuster says in a release that Vite has since shown “exceptional dedication to his development and that hard work has transformed him into one of the best young playmakers in Major League Soccer.”

“Recently, he’s also emerged as a key figure for Ecuador’s national team, playing an important role in their qualification for next year’s World Cup,” Schuster said. “Pedro’s success is a credit to his talent and determination, and we’re excited to continue supporting him as he strives to reach his full potential.”
