Any news yet on CFL-CSA-NASL plan for an all-Canadian soccer division

[PJSweet]

I'm curious to know if there's any development on this issue?

If something comes up, the original thread will get bumped. Nobody on this forum is holding anything back when it comes to Canadian Soccer news.

Here's something:

Former QSF president Dino Madonis was asked when he thought that a national Canadian D2 would exist in 3,5 or 10 years. He said that it could happen as soon as in 2 years.

Duane Rollins reported on Two Solitudes a few weeks ago that they cannot find major sponsors to help back the league and are looking at 2019 at the earliest. I thought that was discussed in another thread or maybe not.

It's important for this to be financially sustainable (ie. not CSL 2.0), so if they have to take their time to get it right from that angle, I appreciate that they are doing so.

I think that was reported in the thead that is located in the Canadian leagues forum.

They better not take too long. I would give no better than 50/50 odds that the NASL will exist in 2019.

Yes, 'wait until 2019 and hope a major sponsor turns up' is essentially an admission of defeat for this plan. In the next few years there should be organic growth of clubs into the current NASL structure and also the USL, either when it gets D2 licensed in 2017/2018 or earlier if the CSA realizes its mistake.

Maybe these major sponsors will turn up if the CFL collapses.

The "wait until 2019 and hope a sponsor turns up" is your take, they would/will surely work in the meantime on their plans and continue to work on bringing in a sponsor. Rushing things is not wise and these things take time and IF it happens well thought out planning and implementation will be part of ensuring its success.
