Victory Grounds Ventures

Building Canada’s Next Soccer Powerhouse, Right Here in Kingston

Victory Grounds Ventures (VGV) is reimagining how soccer infrastructure, team operations, and community engagement come together in Canada. From a new purpose-built stadium to League1 Ontario teams and a future Canadian Premier League franchise, we’re creating a vertically integrated soccer ecosystem with local roots and national ambition.

We’re not waiting for change, we’re building it. A new stadium. A new standard. A new era.

This isn’t just a project. It’s a movement. And it starts here.

Our Mission

To build sustainable, community-first soccer infrastructure and operations that support Canadian talent, grow the game, and leave a lasting legacy for Kingston and beyond.

Our Vision

A Vision Rooted in Soccer. Built for Community. Designed to Last.

Victory Grounds Ventures (VGV) is reshaping how soccer is structured, delivered, and experienced in Canada. We’re building a fully integrated model, from infrastructure and team operations to community engagement and talent development, with Kingston, Ontario as our foundation.

This isn’t a one-off team or a temporary venue. This is a scalable, sustainable, purpose-built soccer ecosystem with long-term ambition and local impact.

It Starts With Infrastructure

At the heart of our model is a soccer-specific stadium, designed with flexibility, sustainability, and year-round usage in mind.

~5,000-seat modular stadium with expansion capacity
Winter dome for year-round play, training, and rentals
High-performance training, recovery, and team spaces
Fully club-controlled: no scheduling conflicts, no shared ownership
Revenue-generating through field rentals, events, and sponsors
Environmentally efficient with smart energy systems (solar, wind, metering)

A Full Soccer Pathway

A Full Soccer Pathway

We’re not just launching one team. We’re building a development structure:

League1 Ontario Men’s and Women’s Teams launching in 2026
Youth identification and development programs
Local partnerships with clubs, schools, and colleges
A future CPL franchise with a player-first approach
One campus for living, learning, training, and playing

Built for Community

Our model is designed to benefit everyone — not just players and fans.

Local employment: stadium ops, matchday staff, events
Economic impact: tourism, hospitality, local vendor partnerships
Inclusive access: shared programming with schools, nonprofits, and clubs
Educational ties: internships, student employment, and joint programming
Civic pride: a team and facility Kingston can call its own

Backed by Business and Purpose

VGV combines sports passion with real operational experience and long-term business planning. We’ve built this project to succeed, on and off the field, with:

Recurring revenue through rentals and non-matchday events
Multiple teams, programs, and business units under one umbrella
Sustainable financing strategies (equity-focused, not debt-heavy)
Long-term ownership, community alignment, and league collaboration
