The Centre Circle Awards are Ontario Soccer’s highest level of recognition and are presented annually to deserving volunteers and organizations nominated on the basis of their outstanding contributions to the development of soccer in Ontario and Canada.
This year Ontario Soccer are excited to unveil a refreshed awards program that expands the current awards structure and reflects a more inclusive and accurate representation of those who exemplify the best in Ontario and who have made outstanding contributions to the game.
In total, there is a minimum of 13 and up to 15 awards on an annual basis, if the President’s and Life Membership Awards are given out.
On a case-by-case basis and at the discretion of the Ontario Soccer Executive Committee, more than one meritorious winner may be recognized in each region to acknowledge the depth of the candidate field in any given year.
