Ontario Soccer is monitoring the COVID-19 situation on a daily basis and in concert with Canada Soccer, and the Canada Soccer Medical Committee is providing updated information as it becomes available.

Further to Ontario Soccer’s Information Bulletin of Jan. 29, 2020 and Action Bulletin of March 9, 2020 on COVID-19 and updated protocols, Canada Soccer has advised provincial members that it is adopting the following measures in relation to overseas travel:

• Canada Soccer will continue to accept sanctioning applications for teams to travel; it will base its approvals on the current situation at the time of actioning the request.
• Travel to most destinations within the Concacaf region will continue to be approved at this time.
• Travel to areas identified by the Government of Canada as Level 3 risk will not be approved.  Other areas that Canada Soccer may consider a risk will be reviewed on a case by case basis. 
• Teams should be aware of the travel advisories prepared by the Government of Canada and make their decision to travel on the most recent information before they depart. For upcoming travel, consult the Travel Advice and Advisories site for destination-specific travel information that provides important advice to help you make informed decisions regarding travel. 
• A team that has already received sanctioning to play abroad or travel permits are responsible for making its own decision on whether travel is still appropriate.

If you have any further questions, please contact Patty Forbes, Director, Administration.
