🆕 #CanWNT might just be back.
A comprehensive 4-1 win over Colombia, with excellence in set-pieces, attacking, and defending, means the 2026 vibe shift is real.
My recap from game one at the SheBelieves for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social 👇
canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/03/01/c...
🇨🇦💥 JANINE SONIS FREE KICK GOAL! BANGER!
What a shot from just outside the box to go around the wall and freeze Katherine Tapia.
A goal and an assist on deadball scenarios from Sonis today!
#CanWNT
#CANWNT GOAL 🇨🇦
Vanessa Gilles gets high to nod in a fantastic Janine Sonis corner. Canada’s first goal since June 2025!
Great seeing clinical set pieces.
PA announcer mispronounced Gilles, but she’ll be happy with that goal.
I just edited the piece because I found that too! Thanks for the flag
🆕 The #CanPL offseason is not slowing down yet!
While most teams are just polishing their rosters, they're applying quite a shiny coat.
From Abzi's arrival to AAJ's departure, I've got all the latest in the CPL for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social 👇
canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/02/14/c...
Sounds like we have the joint partnership between CSA and CSME that it should have been all along.
Also......does this mean CPL will still be around in 2037? Cause I'd love to see the end to the "CPL is folding" doom and gloom.
The proposed National Reg System seems to be flying under the radar. Game changer
We really do have to applaud the CSA’s new brass led by Kevin Blue and Peter Augruso, and the relatively-new CSME CEO James Johnson for getting this over the line.
Seems like we’re finally able to properly move forward with this sport!
At long last, Canada Soccer and Canadian Soccer Media & Entertainment (formerly CSB) have a new deal.
-Joint governance
-New financial incentives
-CSA licensing now w/ CSME, joining sponsorships and media
-Wider broadcasting goals
So much more collaborative.

That 3000m speed skating was electric!! Valerie Maltais with a bronze for Canada going toe-to-toe with the new Olympic record holder. Sad Weidemann couldn’t make the podium but there’s more events to come!
Tough break for Vancouver, but Cruz Azul's goals are coming from isolated incidents, and that's better than being dominated.
Unlucky bounce and big rebound. VFC isn't exactly right in this, but they've shown good life. Need to sort out how to break out down the right.
#CanPL
#VancouverFC's maiden Champions Cup journey kicks off tonight in front of a sell-out home crowd at Willoughby!
Martin Nash's side with a half-dozen club debuts to kick off their fourth full season as a professional club.
📷 #CanPL
Vancouver FC’s first Champions Cup match is TONIGHT!
I talked to their young sensation, Thierno Bah, about his rise, VFC’s CanChamp run, Martin Nash, and expectations vs. Cruz Azul.

Forge⚒️0-0🐯Tigres thoughts:
-Forge's pluckiness + creation makes this their most worthy CONCACAF showing yet
-Bertaud was unreal in goal 🔥
-Not a fan of Forge's false 9
-Excited to see more of Oketekoun, though
-Great off-the-ball performance from Forge in midfield
#CanPL
That could be very unfortunate for Bekker and Forge, so unlucky that it touched Bekker's arm too
#CanPL
TIGRES GET A GOAL CALLED OFF!!
It's still 0-0. And Tigres fans aren't happy.
Juan Brunetta did well to smash one past Bertaud from close range, but after a VAR check, he was correctly called offside.
Forge has life!
#CanPL
OKETOKOUN ALMOST!
Great little touch to get into space just inside the box, but the shot just isn't placed right
Oketekoun's had an important role in the attack so far in his debut
#CanPL
Didn't know what to think about Dimitry Bertaud - but this guy is super athletic and pretty bold with that kick save. Already looking like a steady No. 1 keeper for Forge.
#CanPL
Ben Paton NEARLY scores for Forge!
Rama with an absolutely fantastic touch over Marcelo Flores on the right flank, gem of a ball but Paton's shot is inches off the mark
Best chance of this cold night so far
#CanPL
Kyle Bekker actually wearing longsleeves AND a neckwarmer just tells you how cold it is in Hamilton
#CanPL
Canadian CONCACAF matchups to watch this week:
⚒️ Today: Forge vs. Tigres - 7:00PM
🦅 Wednesday: Vancouver vs. Cruz Azul - 10:00PM
#CanPL
🦅 Tomorrow, Vancouver FC plays in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Nobody expected it. But after their CanChamp experience, and with Martin Nash coaching, Thierno Bah knows VFC are ready for it.

🆕 Thierno Bah does not claim to be a star.
He has the award nominations, the performances, but Vancouver FC’s young winger is all about the team.
Now, Bah and VFC are flying into a shock CONCACAF berth.

While I’m not crazy about the new CPL logo, I do really like the League1 rebrands being in tune with the CPL.
Great colour schemes and the North Star becoming an arrow up is a very smart move.
#CanPL
THE NEW CPL LOGO IS HERE‼️
A big refresh ahead of season 8, with a very clean, Canadian red-and-white look.
I’m happy they’ve stuck with the North Star/maple leaf symbol, and didn’t change it too much.
What do you think of the new logo?
#CanPL
Full disclosure: The only reason why Sturing wasn't on the FA Big Board was because there was literally never word on his contract. So I did not know if he was a free agent or had already left.
Would've been in the top five had I known!
FRANK STURING IS STAYING IN TORONTO!
The Dutch defender re-ups through 2026 for a third year at Inter.
One of the best ballplaying CBs in the CPL imo. Fantastic defender.
#CanPL
Alessandro Biello, we hardly knew ya
Just one visit to the big board, and the latest in a Canadian soccer lineage is off to FC Supra!
#CanPL
🔢 NEW #CANPL BIG BOARD!
A lot of players have signed abroad, leaving a ton of open room at the back end of the big board.
Some new names are on the list, but the top has almost no change.
Who do you want for your club?
