Ontario Soccer is proud to declare June 9 to 15, 2025 as Soccer Week in Ontario — a province-wide celebration of the world’s game and a rallying call to the entire soccer community.

With the Soccer World visiting Canada in just one year, the countdown begins now. Soccer Week in Ontario will showcase the energy, passion, and unity of our sport — from grassroots pitches to the global stage.

As we prepare for this once-in-a-generation moment, Ontario Soccer invites everyone to Play. Inspire. Unite.

This is more than just a countdown — it’s a call to action. The Soccer World coming to our doorstep represents the most powerful opportunity in our lifetime to bring the soccer community together. This week is about celebrating what we’ve built, and looking forward to what we can achieve — united as one.

Football: A Game That Unites the World.

Football has a unique ability to connect people across borders, cultures, and languages. Whether you're playing on the pitch or cheering from the sidelines, football unites us in a way no other sport can.

This year’s World Football Week, running from May 21–25, 2025, will celebrate the theme “Together, We Are Stronger” — honouring the global football community and reinforcing the strength that comes from unity as we build toward Canada’s moment on the world stage.

World Football Week Goals:

• Unite people from all backgrounds to play and watch football
• Bring communities together to celebrate the joy of the game
• Show that football is for everyone — regardless of background or experience

Ontario Soccer is proud to help support this movement, inspiring people of all ages and backgrounds to come together through the universal language of football.

Let’s celebrate. Let’s connect. Let’s build toward the biggest moment in our sport’s history.

Soccer Week in Ontario is almost here — are you ready?

Play. Inspire. Unite.
