This will be the first-ever official meeting between the five-time Ontario Cup winners (2013, 2016, 2021, 2022, 2024) and the fourth-time Nova Scotia provincial winners (2011, 2022, 2023, 2024) at the Toyota National Championships. Before Monday, Gloucester won Group A with 10 points from four matches (3-1-0) while Suburban FC won Group B with nine points (3-0-1) including a victory over Scarborough (who also had nine points with a 3-0-1 record).
