OTTAWA, ON – Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa has today welcomed in the New Year with a new member of the Atleti Family, following the announcement of Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa Juniors.<\/p>\n
Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa Juniors (AOJ), formerly known as Ottawa TFC, has become the first local club to enter into a holistic formal agreement to wear Atleti\u2019s famous red and white jerseys and to carry the club\u2019s philosophy through 2030. AOJ is widely considered one of the most respected youth clubs in Ontario, on and off the pitch, and was a standout candidate for this novel agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to see Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa Juniors become the first club in Ottawa to commit to amplifying Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa\u2019s brand values, colours and name,\u201d said Ron Palaczka, Chief Strategy Officer, Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa. \u201cThis is a reciprocal investment to grow the local soccer community in the spirit of open-minded and customized collaboration. Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa\u2019s goal is to create robust pathways across the region, allowing aspiring players new avenues to achieve their goals. This is yet another step in that direction, and we thank Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa Juniors for their trust and commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n
This tailor-made agreement will enable AOJ to benefit from Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa\u2019s global network and professional resources through a shared soccer methodology and the facilitation of talent identification and development. AOJ has a committed community of passionate soccer players, families and staff who will, in turn, help elevate Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa through a deepening support of the defending Canadian Premier League Champions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis first\u2011of\u2011its\u2011kind affiliation in Ottawa reflects a shared belief in community\u2011rooted, values\u2011driven player development,\u201d said Pavel Cancura, General Manager, Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa Juniors. \u201cOur culture-first approach aligns closely with Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa\u2019s global philosophy, reinforcing a common vision for long\u2011term development and positive impact across the entire soccer community.\u201d<\/p>\n
In December, scouts from Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa\u2019s Mexican affiliate, Atl\u00e9tico de San Luis Femenil, visited the nation\u2019s capital to scout Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa Juniors female alumni, as well as additional select players from the National Capital Region (NCR), for a chance to earn a trial with the Liga MX Femenil (Mexico – first tier) side.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the collaborative creation of a new reserve program is set to be introduced. This first-of-its-kind and exciting project reaffirms their joint commitment to bridging the gap to professional soccer in the NCR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OTTAWA, ON – Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa has today welcomed in the New Year with a new member of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-381967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
