Calgary Minor Soccer Association

Yesterday, more than 100 members of our community, including young players, staff, volunteers, and community leaders, travelled together to witness a once-in-a-generation moment: Canada’s Men’s National Team send-off match ahead of the FIFA World Cup.

Rain or shine, Calgary’s soccer community showed up. Travelling more than 560 kilometres round-trip to be part of the occasion, our group represented the passion and love for the game that exists throughout our city. For many of the young players in attendance, it was their first opportunity to see Canada compete live, creating memories that will inspire them for years to come.

A special thank you to our transportation partner Surerus Murphy for helping make this experience possible.

The excitement surrounding the World Cup is building across the country, and this match marks the beginning of our Summer of Soccer celebrations here in Calgary. Throughout the summer, we’ll be bringing the game to communities through downtown watch parties, free soccer clinics in partnership with and , and activations with our Member Clubs across the city.

The world’s game is here, and Calgary is ready.
