They say home is where the heart is, and that's especially true for the #CanPL 's Quebecois players.

Sean Rea and David Choiniere, plus Loic Kwemi, are bound for FC Supra to be cornerstones of an ambitious project.

Update: Gianfranco Facchineri has joined Kris Twardek at Galway United in Ireland, so that’s one off the board.
Going to start doing a #CanPL Free Agent Big Board every so often as offseason news rolls in!

We got a lot of roster announcements recently, so here’s my top 8 confirmed to be hitting the open market 👇

Is Vanni Sartini returning to coaching? It sure seems like it.

And in what would be a huge coup for the #CanPL, the Halifax Wanderers are frontrunners, per OneSoccer.

From tactics to personality, this move makes sense for all.

🐎 A bit of shock announcement today as Marco Carducci announces is leaving Cavalry after 7 years as their GK1.

His résumé with Cavs:
-4 #CanPL Finals
-1 CPL Shield
-1 North Star Cup
-2 Golden Gloves
-3 times shortlisted for Golden Glove

Absolute legend of the league.

There are a lot of really horrific examples of “it can always get worse” in world history but I find Sepp Blatter to Gianni Infantino hits just the right note of bleak whimsy.

🇲🇽 Mexico vs South Africa 🇿🇦 will be the opening game of the 2026 World Cup.

If I was a betting man, I’d put a lot of money on that atmosphere at the Azteca being the best in the tournament.

#CanMNT made a lot of World Cup memories in Qatar, and can now make some against them.

Another favourable draw for Canada.

🇨🇦 CANADA draws SWITZERLAND🇨🇭

Shaquille O’Neal unveils the Swiss as #CanMNT’s first opponent in the World Cup group stage.

Atiba Hutchinson on Canada having its USA 94 moment:

“I think it was one or two years, [the US] had their own league after that and a lot more kids that got inspired and started picking up the sport. Canada’s been behind the last few years. It’s been picking up.”

A big surprise appearance at Inter Toronto’s brand launch: 2022 #CanPL MVP Ollie Bassett is in the house.

Bassett says the discussions with Mauro Eustáquio and then-York United began back in September when it “became clear” he would be a free agent at the end of the season.
OLLIE BASSETT IS THE FIRST INTER TORONTO SIGNING!

The man of the hour here on Queen Street.

The 2022 CPL MVP and 2023 Golden Boot winner will join Mauro Eustáquio’s side in 2026.
