About Football2040

Our Mission

Connecting Past to Future

Football2040 is a Canadian non-profit organization that believes understanding where we've been is essential to knowing where we're going. We study, document, and celebrate the full history of association football in Canada — from the very first recorded matches to the 2026 World Cup — to support those who will carry the game forward with the richest possible foundation to build on.

• ◆Archive & Research — Documenting Canada's football history through original research, oral history, and archival recovery.
• ◆Education — Creating accessible resources for schools, clubs, and communities across Canada.
• ◆Inclusion — Ensuring the full story is told — men's, women's, youth, amateur, and professional.
• ◆2040 Vision — Building a future for the game that will be experienced by those born in 2026.
