Ottawa has been selected to host the Northern Super League championship game on November 14th this year. The match, which will determine the league champion and award the Diana B. Matheson Cup, will be held at TD Place. The playoff games leading up to the championship match will span two weeks, and the detailed schedule will be revealed in the upcoming weeks.
The Diana B. Matheson Cup, named after Canadian soccer icon and NSL co-founder Diana Matheson, is a symbol of the league’s growth and the thriving professional women’s soccer scene in Canada. Ottawa Rapid FC, currently leading the NSL standings with a record of 10 wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws, is in a prime position for the championship.
