Canadian Club Partners with Canada Soccer and Canadian Premier League in Three-Year Deal

Canadian Club has established a three-year partnership with Canada Soccer and the Canadian Premier League that will extend through 2027, positioning the brand as the exclusive whisky and whisky-based RTD beverage partner for both organizations. This collaboration arrives as soccer experiences unprecedented growth across Canada, with the heritage brand strategically aligning itself with the country's expanding soccer ecosystem. The partnership will see Canadian Club support Canada's international and professional players from the pitch to retail environments as the country prepares to host significant soccer events.

The brand plans to create content inspired by on-field events and connect with fans through real-world activations and digital storytelling. At Canada Soccer National Team home matches, Canadian Club will feature prominently with branded LED signage around stadiums and on-site activations. The agreement includes sampling opportunities at select fanfests and VIP events, along with pouring rights at marquee Canada Soccer events next year. These engagement points are designed to bring supporters closer to the energy building across Canada and help celebrate a sport that's uniting the country. Dominic Martin, Canada Soccer Director of Marketing, expressed enthusiasm about how Canadian Club's deep connection to Canadian heritage and bold national presence will elevate the fan experience in stadiums and communities nationwide.
