Canadian Premier League Expansion
Ontario's third-largest city deserves a professional soccer club. Mississauga City FC is the Canadian Premier League's next franchise — bringing world-class football to a city of over 720,000.
The Case for Mississauga
Soccer is the most popular sport per capita and the fastest-growing sport in Canada. Yet Mississauga — the sixth-largest city in the country and third-largest in Ontario — has no professional soccer representation of its own.
Mississauga City FC will change that. Modelled on the Halifax Wanderers' proven pop-up stadium approach, MCFC is structured for sustainable, community-driven growth from day one — with five prospective sites identified across both public and private land in Mississauga.
Soccer outranks the NHL, CFL, and NBA in average professional attendance across North America.
A population of 721,599 with no local CPL representation — a market gap waiting to be filled.
The Canadian Premier League provides the infrastructure, broadcast rights, and competitive platform.
Soccer is the most popular

growing faster than any other.

surpassing the NHL, CFL, and NBA.
The Investment Thesis
Mississauga City FC is being built on a foundation of strategic site selection, anchor financing, and CPL franchise rights — creating a clear, low-risk path to kick-off.
A 10,000-seat temporary stadium on leased land — proven by HFX Wanderers in Halifax. Five prospective sites have been identified in central Mississauga, spanning both public and private land options.

Our Vision
The Model
The Halifax Wanderers demonstrated that a 10,000-seat temporary stadium built on leased municipal land can deliver a compelling, financially sound CPL franchise. Mississauga City FC follows this exact model — minimising capital expenditure while delivering a professional matchday experience.
