CanadaRED Membership Surges Amid New Commitment to Growing the Game
Canada’s soccer community continues to rally behind the newly expanded CanadaRED membership program, with more than 17,000 supporters joining in just two weeks. This groundswell reflects fervent national pride as soccer builds momentum ahead of FIFA World Cup 26™ on home soil. CanadaRED isn’t just a membership—it’s an investment in the future of the sport. Through contributions, the program fuels impactful initiatives across youth accessibility, coach development, and national team readiness, ensuring every fan plays a part in shaping Canada’s soccer legacy.
Making a Real Impact Across the Country
CanadaRED contributions drive change in three strategic areas:
Accessibility for Youth Soccer
Supporters help bring soccer into classrooms and community spaces via the “Soccer in Schools” initiative, removing travel and cost barriers. Contributions also support clubs in offering financial aid to promising youth aged 9–15—making sure more kids can continue developing their skills.CanadaRED -
Canadian Coaching Excellence
CanadaRED backs training, mentorship, and hands-on opportunities, with programs like AccelerateHER accelerating progress—women’s participation in advanced coaching education has surged by 220%.CanadaRED -
Enhanced National Team Support
The program bolsters Canada’s national team structure from U15 through senior levels. Increased funding enables more high-performance camps, international exposure, and an ambitious goal of four camps per year per age group, preparing our athletes for success at the highest level.CanadaRED -
These investments arrive at a critical time: competitive youth soccer can cost families $800–$1,500 annually—and up to $10,000 in some cases—while one national team player requires approximately $40,000 per year in non-wage operational support. Meanwhile, youth participation (ages 6–12) has declined by 8% over the past decade. CanadaRED addresses these barriers head-on.CanadaRED -
