#ValourFC fans with hangover might find something new in the L1 Prairies project that could come in 2026 to SK and MB (and maybe even Thunder Bay). This needs some attention - hope to find out more soon.

Media rights Belgian Pro League could end with potentially #DAZN pulling the plug. All too familiar…

This shouldn’t be the story of Valour FC.

But Wade Miller and WFC didn’t care, they let the club spiral without giving even half a look.

Valour’s sad demise should be attributed to nobody but Miller and Co.

Thanks @northerntribune.ca for this overview- makes you just ask so many questions about how it came to this. Well some of these, clearly point in one direction.
The downfall of #CanPL club Valour FC leaves Manitoba without a top flight professional soccer club to call its own.

Here's what players and staff past and present had to say about the club folding:

Looks like the #Onesoccer digital team responsible for content on the website didn’t get the memo that #ValourFC folded. Possible because I was a season ticket holder from Day 1 and still didn’t get an apology email either #WadeMillerout would have been the solution not closure of the #CanPL team.

A community should never lose a team. Heartbroken for the Valour staff, players, fans and of course Red RIver Rising. Here’s hoping the CPL/CSB brass can get their shit together and keep the league moving forward #CanPL

Just realized that a dream of seeing a game between #ValourFC and #Valur from Iceland 🇮🇸 will never happen. Just at a time #Westjet is starting direct flights between the 2 places; would have been a great friendly for MB’s Icelandic population #Gimli

This 👇 #ValourFC
The potential was so high.

To Wade Miller & the Blue Bombers: You sold us a dream that you never intended on committing to, then blamed your supporters & staff rather than taking responsibility for your own failures.

You have blood on your hands & we won’t forget it! #CanPL

Curious how fast local #Winnipeg media jump on the news #ValourFC is folding but many of them just ignored them during the actual seasons in #CanPL - something was never right…

Save #ValourFC!!

Yeah many CFL fans are a bunch of conservatives I guess - soccer fans however more likely to believe in him…

Public discussions have sparked the idea of building a potential commuter rail corridor between Winnipeg and Gimli as Manitoba’s railway relocation talks continue.

Some idea I presented a while back to the then MediaPro media rights person for OneSoccer: air games of teams where #CanMT players play- could it be!? Can I take some credit?!

A big get from OneSoccer in Canadian TV rights as they secure the Bundesliga broadcasts.

Previously a mix of Sportsnet and DAZN over the last few years.

Alphonso Davies now easy to watch on OneSoccer and Fubo.
