MLS Soccer in Ottawa

In 2008 Eugene Melnyk officially announced his plan to to bring a Major League Soccer (MLS) team to Ottawa. Ottawa was competing with eight other North American cities for an expansion franchise in 2011. The plan included a 30,000-seat, $100-million stadium to be built near Scotiabank Place.

To help educate and rally the city to support his vision, Melnyk launched a Bring the World to Ottawa campaign as a way of calling upon the Ottawa-Gatineau communities for their collective support in helping make the stadium and MLS team a reality. More details on the campaign are available at www.BringtheWorldtoOttawa.ca.
Unfortunately Ottawa City Council chose to pursue stadium redevelopment at Lansdowne Park, rather than support a stadium in Kanata. As a result, Mr. Melnyk's MLS project is on hold for now.
