Diana Matheson, a former Canadian national team player, initiated plans for the Northern Super League to create a professional women's soccer league in Canada, addressing the lack of domestic opportunities despite the national team's success. The league, set to kick off in April 2025, has announced its six participating cities and established player agreements similar to those in NWSL, featuring a minimum salary of 50,000 CAD. Recent signings highlight local talents, exemplifying the league's commitment to recruiting from nearby universities and promoting homegrown talent.
"We are fortunate to have a strong working relationship with the local universities and communities, emphasizing the importance of homegrown talent in our league."
"The Northern Super League will not only be a platform for players but also an incubator for talent, directly addressing the gap in professional opportunities in women's soccer in Canada."
