Ontario Soccer is announcing today that it has entered into a new multi-year partnership agreement with SportsEngine, a NBC Sports Company, as its Official Technology Partner.

SportsEngine has served as Ontario Soccer’s Official Technology Partner since 2015 and developed Ontario Soccer’s official registration system, the Ontario Soccer Club Account Registry (OSCAR) launched in 2019.

Today’s announcement concludes a 16-month comprehensive market and vendor review process. It was completed by Request for Information and Request for Proposal Review Committees, which were appointed by membership District Associations and made up of information technology experts. 

OSCAR assists Districts, Leagues, and Clubs, within the sanctioned soccer community of Ontario, by streamlining the registration process of data submission, approvals and allow real-time access on multiple devices, even in a variety of digital formats.

The partnership also includes a series of modules designed to provide enhancements and integration with OSCAR. This network is referred to as the “Soccer Technology Member Management Ecosystem.” 

The modules included are:

• Competition Tournament Management
• League Management
• Match Officials Management
• Coach Management
• Discipline and Appeals Management

The agreement provides benefits and cost savings to the Ontario Soccer membership with regard to the previous Software as a Service fee (SaaS).

The launch of the new Soccer Technology Member Management Ecosystem and new SaaS fees will be introduced to membership in modular phases, along with OSCAR upgrades in the near future.  Furthermore, the new lower SaaS fees, when implemented, will now  be charged only once a year regardless of how many registrations and classifications of soccer a registrant may have (i.e., Indoor, Outdoor, Futsal).
