“The League1 Canada Women’s Inter-Provincial Championship is a critical piece of what we’re trying to achieve with League1 Canada, which is to elevate, unite and expand this level of soccer across Canada,” Dino Rossi, president of League1 Canada, told OneSoccer. “Growing the women’s game in our country is a main objective of League1 Canada. Implementing such inter-provincial competitions is instrumental to that development, as we work toward the creation of a domestic professional women’s league from coast to coast.”

Alba Campabadal, VP OneSoccer and Head of Production at Mediapro Canada, said she was “delighted to showcase the women’s game”, particularly at a time when Canadian women have produced outstanding results on the international stage. She pointed out that Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team are the reigning Olympic champion and a favourite going into the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand, while the U20 Women qualified for this month’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica; the U17 Women finished third in the Concacaf Women’s U-17 Championship in May and the the U15 Girls finished as runners-up in the Concacaf U-15 Girls’ Championship last week.

Mediapro Canada will produce the coverage with a crew of some 20 personnel working across the company’s 4K/HD mobile unit Odyssey.
