With Pacific FC’s season in full swing, island soccer fans can look forward to a jam-packed schedule of matches at Langford’s Starlight Stadium—and a few players they’ll want to keep an eye on.
They’ve got the grit, the grind, and just the right amount of swagger, and as PFC continues its push through the season, these three standout players have been quietly (and sometimes not-so-quietly) helping shape the club’s identity.
Whether it’s clutch plays in high-stakes moments, leadership in the locker room, or sheer consistency game after game, this trio has emerged as guys you’ll want to follow—on and off the pitch.
Meet three Pacific FC players who are turning potential into power this season:
#27 Ronan Kratt – @ronankratt
From the wild world of nature shows to the fast-paced world of professional soccer, Ronan Kratt’s journey is as unique as it gets.
The son of Martin Kratt—American zoologist and star of the hit show Zoboomafoo—Ronan even made appearances on Wild Kratts before trading screen time for pitch time. Now, he’s turning heads with Pacific FC thanks to his game-breaking speed, relentless work ethic, and eye for goal.
Just check out his jaw-dropping volley from the Season Opener on April 5th.
With every sprint down the wing, Kratt brings that same high-energy spark fans remember from TV. He’s already a fan favourite, and the club is ready to help him reach new heights of stardom—this time, in football boots.
#10 Marco Bustos – @marcobustos10
A fan favourite and one of the most electrifying players to ever wear the Trident, Marco Bustos is back on the Island and ready to light up the league once again.
A former CPL Player of the Year finalist, Bustos made his mark with Pacific FC from 2020 to 2022 before taking his talents overseas to Sweden’s First Division.
Now returning to the purple and teal, he’s bringing that same creative spark, quick feet, and killer instinct that made him a nightmare for defenders. Expect fireworks—Bustos is back and hungry for more.
#44 Aly Ndom – @haa_lee
Aly Ndom made an instant impact when he joined Pacific FC last season, quickly becoming a key piece of the Tridents’ backline.
Hailing from just north of Paris, France, Ndom brings international experience and calm leadership to the pitch. He cut his teeth in France’s top leagues, where he lined up against some of the biggest names in world football—including Brazilian superstar Neymar.
With his composure, physicality, and football IQ, Ndom anchors the defense with confidence and class. As the season heats up, he’s a player fans will want to keep a close eye on.
Canadian Championship Clash — May 6th at Starlight Stadium
The passion doesn’t stop with league play—Pacific FC is set to kick off their Canadian Championship campaign on Tuesday, May 6th in a massive showdown against CPL rivals Vancouver FC.
This tournament brings together clubs from across Canada’s top divisions, all battling for a shot at national glory and a place in the prestigious CONCACAF Champions Cup.
ast year, Pacific FC made an unforgettable run to the semi-finals, knocking out Canada’s best professional teams along the way before falling to the eventual champions Vancouver Whitecaps FC in front of an electric sold out Starlight Stadium.
Now, the road to redemption begins with a Salish Sea Derby—a heated clash with their mainland rivals, Vancouver FC. With both teams eager to advance and assert dominance in the province, this match promises intense action and a vibrant atmosphere.
