Canadian Premier League​​​

Victory Grounds Ventures (VGV) is actively working to bring a Canadian Premier League (CPL) team to Kingston, Ontario, delivering top-tier professional soccer to one of Canada’s most passionate and underserved markets.

The CPL is Canada’s highest-level men’s professional soccer league and the foundation for developing Canadian talent on home soil. With a mission to grow the game nationally and create opportunities for Canadian players, coaches, and fans, the CPL is the future of professional soccer in Canada, and we’re ready to be part of it.

Our CPL Expansion Bid

We are in advanced discussions with the league office and key stakeholders as part of the next wave of CPL expansion. Our bid is anchored by:

  • purpose-built stadium under full club control
  • Proven operational leadership
  • A scalable soccer ecosystem that includes L1O men’s and women’s teams, youth pathways, and community integration
  • A long-term sustainable business model supported by year-round revenue streams and regional support

Why Kingston?​

Kingston is a soccer city with untapped potential.

With a growing population, a vibrant sports culture, and a strategic location between Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, Kingston is ready to take its place on the national stage. The city has a proud history, passionate fans, and a deep pool of untapped local talent.

Positioned between Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, the city offers:

  • A large and growing youth soccer base
  • A strong post-secondary market with over 30,000 students
  • A regional population of over 300,000 within a 45-minute radius
  • Limited access to professional sports,  offering a clear opportunity to build deep local support

What Sets Us Apart

Full Control of the Facility
Unlike any existing CPL club, our ownership group will have 100% control of our stadium, allowing for greater scheduling flexibility, event hosting, and new revenue streams.

Integrated Operations
From training and housing to nutrition and education, our project is designed to support players on and off the pitch — all in one location.

Community-First Business Model
Our vision balances commercial success with local impact through partnerships with schools, clubs, and economic development leaders.
