Those Valour kits are incredible.

Valour win their first game in club history. 2-1 over Pacific. 

Pretty impressed by the production quality for a small, start up league anyway..

How can a soccer league that relies nearly 100% on ticket revenue play while the CFL couldn't?

They have streaming subscription to watch the games. Also I think they would be getting support from Soccer Canada

Literally zero chance that anyone has thought of this and planned for it. Better give em a call.... 

Valour have fired their coach. Blame it all on the draft 🤣

A must win game for the Valour. Can they pull it out?

 

Good news for small market teams. Actually no as the CPL expands to Vancouver.
