The Canadian Soccer Federation (CSF) was established in 2007 by members of the Canadian soccer community who are deeply concerned by the current state of the game and who wish to present a vision for a better future.  We are keenly aware of the significant structural problems plaguing Canadian soccer so, for that reason, we have come together over the past few months to assemble and present our best ideas, which we hope will assist in putting Canadian soccer on a better course.  We are optimistic that a bright future is possible for Canadian Soccer.  We urge the grassroots community to be an active participant in the process.  The founding members of the CSF do not possess a monopoly on good ideas.  If we work together, we have the ability to create positive change.
