"...With interest in the game ever-growing, Manning was asked if Toronto were considering adding a women's program in the future, perhaps in the National Women’s Soccer League.

“Yes, we would like to at some point,” he responded. “It's not going to be immediate, but three or four years down the road, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

“Financially we’re in a much better place. We invest a lot in the USL, in player development, in DPs [Designated Players],” continued Manning. “As the revenues continue to grow, we'll be in a place where this financial model works, [and we can] invest in a women's program and build that.”

I've said for a while getting NWSL teams in the big three is an important step for the game in Canada and believe MLSE investing in it would do a lot for women's sports in Canada.
