We are entering into an exciting time for the world’s most popular game in Canada and within our Calgary community. Steven Reed, President of Canada Soccer has stated that the hosting of the 2026 FIFA World CupTM will be a defining moment for Canada Soccer, a once-in-a-generation opportunity. We are that generation: What a fortunate time to be engaged in the sport. While Calgary will not be playing host to any of the games, we will reap the benefit of the enhanced interest in the sport itself. This is already evident with the buzz generated from the announcement of the new Canadian Premier League’s franchise, Cavalier’s FC commencing their inaugural season in 2019. It is momentous to see the largest sport in the city combine with the iconic venue of Spruce Meadows as part of this national venture. We are Many; We are One is demonstrated throughout this initiative! In the past year a number of significant milestones have been met by our members and the association. Callies Major continue to raise the bar making their 11th trip to the Challenge Cup National Competition since the establishment of the AMSL. Calgary’s own Progressive FC became the first Alberta Men’s team to participate in the Futsal Canada Championships. Canada is recognized worldwide for its strong grassroots participation which is reflected in our membership with programs ranging from the Elite level, challenging for a national title, to the Over 55 and Coed programs where players continue to play for the pure love of the game. The Board and Administration have successfully completed the five year Strategic Plan and have shared in this Report the Executive Summary and the objectives for the next year and beyond. The specific objectives that we have outlined are in support of CUSA’s broader goals to Uphold the Foundation, Grow the Game and Enrich the Experience for our members. We are extremely proud of our ability to help to build community, new relationships, diversity and inclusion in Calgary through our sport. We know that it fosters personal growth, health and happiness in our membership. We look forward to building on the momentum of the launch of the CPL and the United 2026 bid success to elevate our game and our association in the City of Calgary. It is the collective effort of our members, administration, board and our partners to capitalize on this opportunity to help elevate the sport in our community, the province and beyond. All the best in soccer and otherwise to our members during the upcoming year, Sincerely, Jasprit Lail 5 Highlights Participation Highlights For the period ended March 31, 2018.

  • Concacaf Club Index 2021
    Concacaf Club Index 2021 CONCACAF CLUB INDEX 2021 The draw for the 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf League is set for June 16th and Concacaf has now unveiled the slot allocation ranking for positioning in the Scotiabank Concacaf League (SCL) draw. The allocation ranking has determined the seeding of clubs for the upcoming edition of the SCL. Clubs qualify for the Scotiabank Concacaf League based on criteria set by the respective Member Associations (i.e. tournament champion, runner-up, Cup champion, etc.). The specific method of qualification for each club results in an assigned slot to each qualified club (i.e. CRC 2, CRC 3, etc.), which is used as the basis for the draw’s seeding. The system does not rank individual clubs. It is based on the on-field performance of the various clubs of the same Member Association that have occupied those respective qualifying slots. For example, each year Nicaragua qualifies two clubs to the Scotiabank Concacaf League. Per the competition regulations, the 2020 Apertura or 2021 Clausura champion with the most accumulated points in the 2020-21 season will be assigned slot NCA1. The total points awarded to NCA1 (shown in the table below) are not those obtained by a single Nicaraguan club in previous appearances, but rather those obtained by the last five Nicaraguan clubs that qualified as NCA1 To determine the total points awarded to a Member Association’s slot(s) (i.e. NCA1) in any single edition of the Scotiabank Concacaf League, Concacaf utilizes the following formula: 2 points for 0.5 Point per 1 Point for

  • Economic Health of New Canadian Premier League Based on Groundwork from U of L’S Dr
    For Immediate Release — Friday, June 14, 2019 Economic health of new Canadian Premier League based on groundwork from U of L’s Dr. Duane Rockerbie As the Canadian Premier League — Canada’s new Division II professional soccer circuit — continues to gather momentum in its inaugural season, University of Lethbridge economics professor Dr. Duane Rockerbie is justifiably proud of its success. Rockerbie has been researching the economics of sport for the better part of two decades and in 2010, began working on the first of two reports for the Canadian Soccer Association to provide an economic analysis of the feasibility of a new Division II soccer league for the country. Working with former Canadian national team and professional player James Easton (now the Vice-President of Football Operations for the CPL), the reports laid the groundwork for the formation of the league and charted a path to economic success. “Maybe the most important aspect of it was finding the right investors,” says Rockerbie. “The owners they have are very committed. Some of them already own Canadian Football League teams, so they are not inexperienced people in this realm and that’s what was needed, people with good credentials. They also have a 10-year commitment to the league, even if they lose money, they are in it for 10 years.” Focusing less on startup and more on longevity, Rockerbie says the CPL did the right thing in carefully plotting out its game plan. “The interesting thing with this league is we developed a model for them to use, complete with potential revenue sources,” he says.
