BMO is proud to announce a significant new partnership with Canada Soccer as its Official and Exclusive Banking and Financial Services Partner, and the new training kit sponsor across Canada Soccer’s national teams.

This comprehensive partnership spans several key Canada Soccer properties, including Canada Soccer’s national teams and the TELUS Canadian Championship.


“We are thrilled to welcome BMO to the Canada Soccer family. BMO has a long and proven track record of investing in the growth of soccer nationally, and this new partnership further strengthens our shared commitment to developing the sport from coast to coast to coast. Together, we will support our national teams, inspire the next generation and bring meaningful soccer experiences to communities across the country.”

- Kevin Blue, CEO and General Secretary, Canada Soccer


The partnership will kick into action immediately, starting with Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team debuting their BMO-branded training kits as they open their 2026 campaign at the SheBelieves Cup. BMO will also become the Presenting Partner of Canada Soccer’s 2026 Send-Off Celebration, which will feature Canadian Men’s National Team matches in Edmonton and Montreal as Canada prepares for the FIFA World Cup 26.


BMO is proud to be the exclusive banking partner of Canada Soccer at such a defining moment for the sport in our country. As Canada prepares for back-to-back FIFA World Cups, we’re honoured to support the men’s and women’s national teams and unite Canadians through sport. This partnership builds on BMO’s two decades of commitment to growing the game, supporting athletes at every stage and helping shape a stronger future for soccer in Canada."

- Catherine Roche, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, BMO


The BMO brand will be prominently featured on the training apparel of Canada Soccer’s national teams across all programs, reflecting our deep commitment to supporting Canadian athletes at all levels of competition.


“It’s great to see BMO partner with Canada Soccer. As a BMO Ambassador, I see this as a positive step in continuing to grow the game.”

- Alphonso Davies, captain of Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team



“As a player, you feel the impact when organizations truly invest in the growth of the game. Having BMO’s support for Canada Soccer means more access, more opportunity, and more inspiration for the next generation of Canadian soccer players.”

- Julia Grosso, member of Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team and BMO Ambassador


At the heart of this partnership is a shared mission: to grow the most-played sport in Canada and support communities across the country to ensure soccer continues to be as accessible as possible. BMO and Canada Soccer will collaborate on grassroots programs and community initiatives focused on accessibility, youth development and inclusive pathways into the sport.

BMO has proudly supported soccer for more than two decades, helping grow the game across North America through deep partnerships that span grassroots initiatives to professional leagues. This long-standing commitment has strengthened the connection between BMO and the sport, ensuring players of all ages and backgrounds have opportunities to participate and thrive.
