The Best of Canadian Soccer

Soccer which is commonly known as football is a team sport that is played between two teams of eleven players. The sport is played following the set rules which cut across the world. In the earlier years, soccer was being played with the Dominion Football Association and Western Football Association who were acting as the precursors to today’s Canadian Soccer Association. Football is regulated by an international body called the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), which also plans and arranges the world cup for both men and women every four years.
