Canada Soccer Club Licensing Program expands with adoption of Quebec-based clubs

Canada Soccer has announced the addition of 50 clubs to its National Youth Club Licensing Program from Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The announcement includes granting seven new Quebec-based clubs the Canada Soccer National Youth Club License, the highest youth club licence in the program. In addition, Member Association Levels 1 & 2 Club Licences were granted as Provincial and Regional Licences in Quebec, while two clubs in Nova Scotia have received the Member Association Level 1 Licence. The remainder of the clubs admitted into the program in December were Quality Soccer Providers from New Brunswick.

“Canada Soccer’s Youth Club Licensing Program is an ambitious standards-based classification program implemented to drive club development in Canadian soccer,” said Dr. Nick Bontis, Canada Soccer President. “The admission of Quebec-based clubs, including seven organizations at the National Youth Club Licence level ensures the program’s safe sport and inclusivity pillars are embedded in the fabric of clubs and academies across the country and that participants are in developmentally appropriate training environments from coast-to-coast.”

Canada Soccer’s Club Licensing Program was launched in 2017 with the Canada Soccer Professional Club Licence. Canada Soccer announced the expansion of the program to youth soccer in 2018 in collaboration with its Provincial and Territorial Member Associations and incorporating international best practices.

To date, 163 Member Organizations from across nine Member Associations including 50 National Youth Club Licences holders in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia have been granted licences.
