NASL planning aggressive expansion into Canada
As the eyes of the North American soccer world have been fixated on the MLS labour dispute for the last few months, the NASL, a newly formed second division, has been quietly laying the ground work for the years ahead.
In their sights? Quite simply: Canada.
I was invited, along with Duane Rollins, one of the co-hosts of the It’s Called Football show, to an off-the record meeting with a high ranking NASL official a month ago.
In it, they laid out for us their aggressive plans for Canada over the next two to three years.
Six cities, two in Ontario – all in markets that have a strong soccer communities- are being targeted by the NASL.
