16 gifs that will hype you up for the new Canadian Premier League
The new Canadian Premier League (CPL) has arrived. Here's how excited we are to welcome professional soccer — and the Valour FC! — to our province, in gif form!
Oh, hello, did you know Canada has a new sports league?
Yes, the Canadian Premier League is hitting our homeland.
We're more than a little bit excited to root for Winnipeg's Valour FC! The inaugural home game for Valour FC is Saturday, May 4, 2019.
How you'll react once you see the ticket prices.
Individual Valour FC tickets sell for $15 to $39. The $15 seats are located in the Non Alcohol/Family Seating section (more chill) and the King's Head Supporter section (very not chill). Thrifty Manitoba approved!
Then the anticipation sets in as you await kick off.
Once the game begins, you'll admire the fancy footwork.
Watch amazing saves.
Witness insane goals.
And cheer for your new favourite players.
Valour FC's varied roster includes teenage forward Tyler Attardo (River East Collegiate represent!) and former Canadian youth international midfielder Dylan Carreiro.
Especially when you see them do things like this.
Or this.
Or definitely something like this.
(like...is this real life?)
Hopefully, you won't see much of this.
Oof. Unless the blunders come from the opposing team. In those cases, Bring. It. On.
Or this.
Don't forget to rep your team colours.
The Valour FC's colours of maroon, gold and black looks sharp.
And get a good chant in.
Red River Rising is Valour FC's supporters group. They're looking for a few good chants.
You just can't beat this type of fun.
See you at the stadium. Let's go Valour FC!
