Soccer Canada gets $300K in federal funding for youth initiatives ahead of World Cup
The $300,000 federal funding will expand school outreach and match experiences, benefiting about 5,000 young players and families, as Canada prepares to host World Cup games.
- On Monday, Adam van Koeverden, secretary of state for sport, announced the federal government is providing Canada Soccer $300,000 to expand youth engagement ahead of the FIFA men's World Cup.
- The funding will support two initiatives: an expanded national school outreach program and a national team match experience for approximately 5,000 young players and their families.
- At a youth soccer event in Toronto, Jonathan Osorio wore Canada’s new red home kit and Richie Laryea sported the black 'cracked ice' jersey, both featuring a 'lucky loonie' stitched in the collar alongside former Canadian international Dwayne De Rosario.
- Van Koeverden said the investment will help more kids participate and see national teams up close, while players noted rising energy as Toronto and Vancouver prepare to host matches.
- Later this month, Canada national team plays Iceland on March 28 and Tunisia on March 31 after training camp, facing a setback from Alphonso Davies' right hamstring strain.
