Season review

Pre-season

On 29 March 2021 the club announced their pre-season training camp plans in Spain.[1] The training camp began on 1 April 2021 and took place at Los Angeles de San Rafael in Segovia before continuing at Centro Deportivo Wanda Alcalá de Henares in Alcalá de Henares. On June 3, after nine weeks in Spain, the club returned to Canada to begin quarantine before returning to training.[2]

Regular season

The Kickoff

On 7 June 2021 the Canadian Premier League announced that the beginning of the 2021 regular season would occur in a bubble environment in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "The Kickoff", as it was branded, would occur between 26 June and 24 July and all matches would take place at IG Field.[3] The club began training in Winnipeg on 17 June[4] before playing in the season's inaugural match on 26 June, a 1–0 victory over FC Edmonton.[5]
