TheCanadian Soccer League (CSL;French:Ligue canadienne de soccer — LCS) is a semi-professional league for Canadiansoccer clubs primarily located in the province ofOntario, and claims the history of theCanadian National Soccer League (CNSL).[2][3] It is anon-FIFA league previously sanctioned by theCanadian Soccer Association (CSA), but now affiliated with the Soccer Federation of Canada (SFC).[4] As of2025, it consists of four teams, all located inToronto, Ontario.[5] The season usually runs from May to October, with most games played on the weekend followed by aplayoff format to determine the overall champion.
The league was formed in 1998 as theCanadian Professional Soccer League (CPSL) by an alliance forged by theOntario Soccer Association (OSA) with the Canadian National Soccer League. The new league was meant to provide opportunities for the development of players, coaches, and referees.[6] The intention of the alliance was to form regional divisions across the nation under the CPSL banner with each divisional champion competing in a playoff format for thechampionship.[7]
After the demise of theCanadian Soccer League (CSL) in 1992, Canada was without a Division 1 national professional league. The Canadian soccer landscape was fractured into several different foreign and regional senior leagues. When the CSL ceased operations, three of their clubs (theVancouver Whitecaps,Toronto Blizzard, andMontreal Supra) joined theAmerican Professional Soccer League, which then was the highest-tier league in the United States.[8] The remaining clubs, except for theLondon Lasers, joined theNational Soccer League (NSL), the country's oldest and only exclusively Canadian professional league.[9] After the addition of theWinnipeg Fury, the league changed its name to the Canadian National Soccer League (CNSL).
Though the CNSL was primarily based inOntario, it operated as a private league for several years after disputes with theOntario Soccer Association (OSA).[10] The OSA operated theOntario Soccer League which was the top senior amateur league in the province, but Ontario was without a sanctioned professional league (as the CNSL was considered an outlaw league by the OSA). As a result, the OSA completed a study titledImage of the Game in 1995/1996, which led to plans of launching the Ontario Professional Soccer League in 1997 as a Division 3 league in theCanadian soccer league system.[11][12] As the OSA failed to bring their project to fruition, they reached an agreement with the CNSL and formed an alliance to launch the Canadian Professional Soccer League (CPSL), beginning with an Ontario division in 1998.
The CPSL would serve as a link between the provincial senior leagues to theUSL A-League/USISL clubs, and provide opportunities for the development of youth players and referees.[7][13] The intention of the league was to form regional divisions under the CPSL banner, with each divisional champion competing in a playoff format for the championship.Michael Di Biase, the CNSL president, would serve as the commissioner and OSA administrator Bill Spiers was named league chairman.[14] The founding members included four CNSL clubsLondon City,North York Astros,St. Catharines Wolves,Toronto Croatia, and four of the OPSL teams:Glen Shields,Mississauga Eagles,Toronto Olympians, andYork Region Shooters.
In the initial years of the CPSL, the on-field performance was dominated by Toronto Olympians andOttawa Wizards, who had the financial support from corporations such asCoffee Time, and Oz Optics Ltd.[15] While St. Catharines, and Toronto Croatia – two well established former CNSL clubs – were the prominent challengers in the early years, a change occurred in 2000 within the administration field of the league withVince Ursini being appointed the president.[16] The league was able to acquire a television deal withRogers TV, which enabled the launch of its own television program, the CPSL Soccer Show, which garnered the highest ratings of Sunday programs shown on the channel.[17][18][19] As a result, the league earned major sponsorship deals fromPrimus Canada, and theGovernment of Canada, which served as the sole sponsor for the CPSL Rookie of the Year Award.[20][16]
In 2001, the CSA originally initiated a task force named the Canadian United Soccer League (CUSL), which formed a working partnership with the CPSL and the Canadian franchises in the USL A-League to forge a unified professional structure in the hopes of forming a Canadian first and second division domestic league.[21][22][23] Meanwhile, the CPSL continued in its original mission of providing opportunities to players to a higher platform by striking an agreement with theToronto Lynx of the USL A-League. The player agreement deal provided the Lynx access to use any CPSL talent upon request, which provided the players the opportunity to play at a higher level.[24] Another effort conducted by the league was in 2003 with the opening of their domestic cup, theOpen Canada Cup, to all Canadian professional and amateur clubs to provide a potential candidate for theCONCACAF Champions' Cup.[25] The previous time a Canadian club competed in the Champions' Cup was in the1976 CONCACAF Champions' Cup, represented by Toronto Italia in the predecessor league to the CPSL.
The league continued its selective, cautionary approach to team expansion, but witnessed a major expansion run in 2001 beyond theGTA and Ontario border to includeQuebec andOttawa franchises.[26][27][28] The following season, it expanded to 14 clubs to include aHamilton and anotherToronto territory. Due to the increase of teams, CPSL management split the league into two conferences: Eastern and Western.[29]
After firmly establishing the league within the Ontario soccer structure, Ursini resigned from his position in order to fully delegate his time to his OSA obligations, and to seek election to the CSA board of directors. Former CPSL management consultantCary Kaplan with previous experience as president of theHamilton Bulldogs in theAmerican Hockey League was named his successor in the capacity of acommissioner. One of his first acts was the creation of a Women's Canada Cup, as a preliminary tournament launched in the hopes of creating a future professional domestic league for women.[30] In 2006, Kaplan began a series of reforms beginning with the creation of the National and International Division to replace theconference system. The intention of the reforms was to re-kindle the spirit of the CNSL days by promoting ethnic rivalries to increase match attendance.
A rebranding of the name was made to the Canadian Soccer League (CSL), with a new set of rules, regulations, and constitution established. The schedule format was changed including the relationship between the OSA and theQuebec Soccer Federation (QSF) was revised with the CSL by the signing of a "Memorandum of Understanding", which provided the CSL with an increased level of autonomy and eventual operational independence from the governing body in 2008.[31] The outcome of the reforms witnessed a 50% increase in match attendance particularly in the GTA with the ethnic based teams attracting the most attention. Fan support would continue to increase for several seasons, with theSerbian White Eagles FC andTrois-Rivières Attak averaging the most. Media coverage was further increased after an arrangement made withToronto Community News, which provided coverage to the league and its member clubs. Rogers TV made additional broadcasting commitments to expand their media coverage to a full season.[32][33]
Several milestones were made in the Open Canada Cup tournament with the participation of the Toronto Lynx in 2006, and the expansion of the tournament to include teams from British Columbia in 2007. The CSL began an affiliation in 2007 with theMontreal Impact of theUSL First Division by fielding theirfarm team the Trois-Rivières Attak in the National Division.Toronto FC of theMajor League Soccer (MLS), owned byMaple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, established a relationship with the CSL in 2008 by enteringTFC Academy to the National Division and TFC Academy II to the Reserve Division. As a result, the league became associated with two of Canada's top three professional soccer franchises by providing a feeder system to the top tier. In 2008, a Reserve Division was formed to build a developmental structure within the CSL and provide clubs with a larger player pool, sufficient playing time for injured players to recover, and a developmental platform for novice players to transition to the professional ranks.[34]
On May 12, 2009, the CSL received conditional approval for membership with the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA).[35][36] This paved the way for the CSL to create the effective player developmental system needed to provide the missing link between the top provincial amateur level to the MLS/USL on a national level.[citation needed]
After4+1⁄2 years as commissioner, Kaplan resigned following the 2009 season in order to devote more time to his sports marketing company with Domenic Di Gironimo hired as his replacement.[37] In 2010, the CSL was granted full membership in the CSA as a Division 3 sanctioned professional league in the Canadian soccer structure. Meanwhile, the CSL commissioner was awarded a seat on the CSA Professional Soccer Committee to further the planned expansion of the league to a fully national league with regional divisions under the CSL banner.[38] The league was restructured by merging the International and National divisions to form the CSL First Division with a single table structure. While the Reserve Division expanded beyond the GTA boundary, and was reorganized in 2011 into the Second Division. Where it continued its traditional support role as a reserve, and entry level division for clubs with limited financial resources to meet the standards for a First Division club. A working relationship was struck with newly formed Canadian Academy of Futbol (CAF), which cemented a compete youth structure within the CSL infrastructure with member clubs operating their academy teams in CAF. Shortly following the completion of the 2010 season, De Gironimo announced his resignation from the league citing irreconcilable differences. Additional achievements under De Gironimo term was the sponsorship agreement made withGivova which granted the company the naming rights to the league, and to the CSL Championship. Other major sponsorships includedDays Inns – Canada, and a record broadcasting agreement with Rogers TV, which provided additional match coverage to the provinces of Ontario,New Brunswick, andNewfoundland and Labrador.[39] Finally, the addition of theMontreal Impact Academy as the second MLS academy club to join the league.[40]
Former CPSL president and CSA financial director Vince Ursini returned to the organization as the successor to De Gironimo in 2011. The league's membership under Ursini's administration expanded to record amount of 28 teams in 2012 with 16 in the First Division and 12 in the Second Division. Their media coverage was broaden with a television agreement withCogecoTV, and the reintroduction of their weekly television program was picked up by Rogers TV.
On September 12, 2012, accounts of alleged match-fixing was reported by theCBC that a CSL game between the Trois-Rivières Attak and Toronto Croatia held in September 2009 was fixed.[41] The report, which aired on the news programThe National, revealed court documents showing that €15,000 ($18,000 CDN) in bribes were paid to several players on Toronto Croatia. The game was part of a largermatch-fixing scandal in Europe in which six people were convicted. In response to the allegations of match fixing the CSL issued a statement stating that the league would continue to conduct the necessary steps in order to prevent any future tampering of matches.
Prior to the2013 season, the CSA informed the CSL that the league would no longer be sanctioned. CBC reported that the CSA's decision was partially based on their inability to handle the match fixing issue.[42] The CSA later announced that the decision was made in order to implement the James Easton Report (Rethink Management Group Report) for the adoption of a new professional soccer structure.[43] The CSL protested the de-sanctioning and appealed to the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC).[44][45] The sport arbitrator ruled that the CSA had the right to de-sanction the CSL, but ruled that the immediate decisions conducted by the CSA were unreasonable and coercive.[46][47][48][49] The sport arbitrator forced them to reinstate sanctioning to the CSL until the next season in order for the CSA to fairly implement the Easton Report.[50] A notable admission was made by CSA presidentVictor Montagliani during the SDRCC hearing, where he stated that the decision to de-sanction the CSL was not made on any alleged grounds of match fixing in the CSL but strictly on the decision made by the CSA board of directors to adopt a new soccer structure in Canada.[51]
On February 28, 2014, the CSA officially expelled the CSL from its membership, citing violations of rules and regulations.[52] After failing to specify which rule violations were made and without providing a formal hearing the CSL in response filed litigation against the CSA.[53] As a result, the CSL began its operation as a private league for the first time since the 1997 season in its predecessor league. They joined the newly formed Soccer Federation of Canada (SFC), which provided the private soccer entity the services of administration of players, non-playing personnel, match officials and insurance, which they no longer have any affiliation with now.[54][55][56][57][58]
Significant changes were made at the 2015 annual general meeting of team owners where restrictions on import players were lifted, and a working relationship was formed with theAmerican Soccer League (ASL) in order to assist in areas of competition and business.[59][60] A television agreement was made with Ethnic Channels Group, andbeIN Sports in order to broadcast their television program, and revived their sponsorship deal with Givova in 2016.[61][62][63][64] Affiliations were formed with the Ontario Youth Soccer Association in order to establish a YSA Division to house the CSL Academy teams, and with the Canadian Corporate Soccer League in developing a structure of competition for the city'scorporate clubs in Toronto.[65] While reports of alleged match fixing continued with a report released on October 14, 2015, bythe International Centre for Sport Security (ICSS) claiming that 42% of matches in the 2015 season potentially had illegal and suspicious betting activity.[66] All 12 teams were alleged to have played in a "suspicious" game on at least three occasions. On February 2, 2016, theRoyal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) announced investigations in the alleged match fixing in the CSL.[67] As a result, the CSL cooperated with RCMP investigations and took measures to monitor all matches during the 2016 season.[68][69]
There are currently six clubs in the Canadian Soccer League. Traditionally, during the course of a league season teams usually played a balanced schedule of 18 or 22 games from April/May through October/November with the top eight ranked teams advancing to the playoffs. As of recent seasons a balanced schedule of 10 to 14 games has been played. Each match sees the winning team awardedthree points, or in the case of a draw, the teams receive one point each. No points are awarded for a loss. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned the regular season champion.
The playoffs operate as a knockout tournament with single-match legs where the winner of the final is crownedCSL champion. Fourteen clubs have won the CSL Championship includingToronto Croatia (6 titles),York Region Shooters, andFC Continentals (3 titles each). There is no automaticpromotion and relegation between the First and Second Division. Club members of the CSL vote to determine which, if any, applications for admission into the league will be permitted.
The Canadian Soccer League previously organized aknock-out cup competition known as theOpen Canada Cup (formerly known as theGovernment of Canada Open Cup for sponsorship reasons) each league season. The competition was originally formed in 1998 known as the League Cup, and was exclusively open only to CPSL clubs. In 2003, the CPSL opened the League Cup to all Canadian professional and amateur clubs in order to provide a potential Canadian candidate to theCONCACAF Champions' Cup.[70] The competition was renamed with the Government of Canada as the initial title sponsorship, and the inclusion of a $10,000 reward for the champion.[71]
The Open Canada Cup eventually expanded to include professional and amateur teams from Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. A notable addition was theToronto Lynx of the USL First Division at the time the nations top tier division joining the tournament in 2006. In 2008, the CSL increased the prize money to $25,000, but shortly after the creation of theCanadian Championship the competition was disbanded. Since the establishment of the Canadian Championship, no CSL teams have participated in the tournament which determines the Canadian entry into thecontinental competition.
The Canadian Soccer League is owned by its member clubs and managed by aboard of directors made up of directors from each member club.[72] The board of directors sets out the policy to oversee league operations and selects achairman. Originally new a franchisee were given the status of a playing member, and were placed on a probation for a period of three years before they were granted shareholder status as a member club with equity ownership.[73] In 2011, the ownership structure of the league was reformed into an incorporated body as the CSL Association Inc in order to bring about a slow process of equalization to the status of teams, while compensating the equity owners who had heavily invested in league throughout the years
The current chairman is Vincent Ursini, appointed in March 2011, and the league administrator is Pino Jazbec with Stan Adamson as Director of Media.[74] Previously the chairman also had the function of a commissioner with Michael Di Biase, Cary Kaplan, and Domenic Di Gironimo serving in that capacity.
The Canadian Soccer League originally soldtitle sponsorship rights toGivova from 2010 to 2012. The Givova deal with the Canadian Soccer League expired after the 2012 season, and was renewed in 2016.[61]

Notes on name changes:
Since the inception of the Canadian Soccer League, it has contributed to the development and supply ofhead coaches to the Canadian soccer system. The league, as it did in its predecessor league, managed to attract many prominent head coaches from abroad to provide the experience needed in the development of coaching. Notable head coaches have includedRudolf Belin,Miroslav Buljan,Manuel Gomes,Rasim Kara,Ivan Markovic,Mladen Pralija,Dragoslav Šekularac, andIhor Yavorskyi.[77][78][79] While at the same time providing the opportunities to produce and develop head coaches asBijan Azizi,Jason Bent,Jim Brennan,Nikola Budalic,Hubert Busby Jr.,Rafael Carbajal,Danny Dichio,Marc Dos Santos,Philippe Eullaffroy,Dejan Gluščević,Carmine Isacco,Goran Miscevic,Darren Tilley, andDuncan Wilde, who have gone on to higher endeavors.[80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87]
