Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, and it has been for decades. But soccer hasn’t always been so big in Canada.
Back when I was a kid, there were only two or three soccer games on TV every week. And if you wanted to play yourself, you had to find someone who played as well and get a game going yourself.
Nowadays, there are multiple professional soccer leagues you can watch on TV every week from all over the world, and it’s easy to find a pickup game or join a league. Soccer is slowly but surely becoming more and more popular in Canada. The professional soccer leagues have full custom printed soccer uniforms but even Sunday pick-up games are sprucing up. Here at Artik in Toronto, we get many teams that choose from blank soccer jerseys or T-shirts and have them screen printed with a soccer team name and graphic on the front. Many also add heat-pressed numbers on the back and maybe even the player’s name. More soccer shirts and uniforms here.
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, with an estimated 3.5 billion fans worldwide. It’s played in over 200 countries, and there are over 250 million registered players. There are many reasons why soccer is so popular, including its simplicity and universality. Soccer is a relatively simple game to understand and play, and it can be played by most people of all ages and abilities. As long as you can run or stand in goal, you can play. It’s also a very inclusive sport, with both men and women playing on equal terms.
In Canada, soccer has been growing in popularity for the last few years. According to a recent survey, nearly one in four Canadians aged 12 and up now play soccer. This is up from just over one in ten in 2010. There are a number of reasons why soccer is becoming more popular in Canada.
One reason is the increasing diversity of the population. Canada is now one of the most multicultural countries in the world, and immigrants are bringing their love of soccer with them. According to the same survey, nearly half of all new Canadians say they play soccer.
Another reason for soccer’s growing popularity is the success of the national team. The Canadian women’s team has won two Olympic gold medals, and the men’s team has qualified for the World Cup. This success has inspired a new generation of young players and has helped to raise the profile of the sport.
Finally, the increasing popularity of soccer in Canada is also due to the fact that it’s a relatively inexpensive sport to play. Compared to other sports like hockey or baseball, soccer requires very little equipment. A ball and a pair of cleats are all you need to get started.
