Ontario Soccer Unveils New App to Strengthen Community Ties Before 2026 World Cup

Ontario Soccer has announced a major milestone for Ontario Soccer’s MySoccer Powered by BMO app, developed by sports technology provider Sportswik. In just thirteen weeks the platform has onboarded over 13,300 users.

The purpose-built, white label app will also play a central role in GeneratiON26, a bold community engagement campaign recently launched by Ontario Soccer and title partner BMO.

Ontario Soccer’s MySoccer Powered by BMO – First Thirteen Weeks in Numbers:
13,329 registered users
1,321 matches covered
97 per cent of eligible matches featured live scoring
25 million page views
The results underscore the platform’s potential to digitally transform amateur and youth soccer coverage across the province.

“The immediate impact of our new MySoccer App Powered by BMO among the hundreds of teams featured in this first phase has exceeded our expectations,” said Johnny Misley, CEO of Ontario Soccer. “The usage data from just thirteen weeks confirms the heightened interest from our Clubs to digitize their matchday workflows and from fans to engage more deeply with the game. This early success gives us the confidence and momentum to scale the experience across many more of our 24,000 teams and reinforces MySoccer’s critical role as the digital destination for GeneratiON26 as we build toward 2026.”

BMO, the initiative’s presenting sponsor, continues to lead in connecting with communities through sport.

“As the presenting sponsor of Ontario Soccer’s MySoccer and title sponsor of GeneratiON26, BMO is proud to support Ontario Soccer in bringing the game closer to Ontarians,” said Jennifer Carli, Chief Brand Officer at BMO. “For BMO, Ontario Soccer’s MySoccer platform is more than a fan engagement tool, it’s a strategic investment in building authentic, long-term relationships with communities through digital touchpoints that matter.”

The underlying technology, developed by Sportswik, enables real-time match coverage and user-generated content through a branded, mobile-first experience.

“We’re proud that Sportswik was selected through a robust and competitive process to power this initiative,” said Martin Wiklund, CEO of Sportswik. “What Ontario Soccer has achieved in such a short time with just a few select pilot partners demonstrates a scalable model — not only for Ontario, but for other national and regional soccer organizations looking to unlock new value as the sport continues to grow globally.”

As global soccer prepares for its marquee event in 2026, Ontario Soccer’s MySoccer platform provides a community-first blueprint for driving grassroots media coverage, digital fan engagement, and sponsor activation.
