Federal government plans to invest up to $5.45 million to help grow women's soccer
- On Saturday at BMO Field, the federal government committed up to $5.45 million to support the Northern Super League and help grow women’s professional soccer in Canada.
- Ottawa has begun talks with the first-year league to deliver transformative upgrades for facilities used by the NSL across the country, addressing scheduling problems and the need for midsize venues.
- Those in attendance included four federal ministers—Evan Solomon, Mélanie Joly, Gregor Robertson and Adam van Koeverden—alongside Christina Litz, NSL president, and Diana Matheson, NSL co-founder, while FedDev Ontario had previously provided $180,000 for the inaugural championship expected to attract thousands to the Greater Toronto Area.
- Diana Matheson framed the initiative, saying sport plays a key role in Canada’s future and women's sport is proud to invest and build in communities across the country, while the government said it supports and invests in the league’s growth.
- The NSL plans to add a seventh team in 2027, and Evan Solomon said Northern Super League is changing the game for women in sport, inspiring communities and strengthening our economy.
