“The Canadian Soccer Association is pleased that we will continue our relationship with Rogers Sportsnet in bringing the beautiful game to Canadians from coast-to-coast,” stated Peter Montopoli, Canadian Soccer Association General Secretary. “We are committed to creating opportunities for Canada’s teams to play at home and abroad and look forward to working closely with Rogers Sportsnet to ensure that these matches are available to as many Canadians as possible.”
