Match-going supporters will have access to the stadium from 12:45pm onwards when Gate #1 opens, and will be able to cheer on the Canadian Men’s National Team from their seat, before supporting the defending Canadian Premier League Champions – Atlético Ottawa – who hosts Cavalry FC for the first time since the iconic ‘Icicle Kick’ Final in 2025.
Atlético had previously confirmed that kick-off time for the match had been moved to 4pm to avoid clashing with the most important men’s professional soccer match in Canada’s history.
“What Canada has been doing is great; they are bringing together all Canadians,” said Ballou Tabla, Atlético Ottawa’s record appearance holder and leading goalscorer. “Especially in Ottawa, we have the red and white jerseys, and you see a lot of them when people go out to support the National Team. It’s beautiful to see. I’m excited to see Canada’s performance, they’ve done a great job to get to this stage, and we’ve got some real firepower in attack. I have faith in them, and it would be nice to see two victories at TD Place in one day.”
Thousands of tickets have already been sold for the match, and supporters in Ottawa can buy tickets for the match at **www.cplsoccer.com/atleticoottawa/matchtickets**.
Additionally, all ticket purchasers will be entered into a raffle to win Atlético Ottawa’s 2025 Championship-winning primary jersey signed by the full North Star Cup-winning team.
