Ottawa Fury FC Introduces Fury Fanatics Program For Youth Soccer Clubs

Ottawa Fury FC of the North American Soccer League (NASL) announced Saturday a soccer community outreach program that every registered soccer player 14 years of age and younger in the Ottawa/Gatineau Region can attend all Fury FC home matches at TD Place for free. The program, called Fury Fanatics, establishes partnerships between Fury FC and youth soccer clubs, where the clubs distribute free memberships to their players. There is no cost to the club or to any youth player to join Fury Fanatics once the club has joined the program.

The Fury Fanatics program was announced at TD Place with players from its eight initial member soccer clubs, West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC), Ottawa Gloucester Hornets Soccer Club, Ottawa Nepean Soccer Club (ONESC), Nepean Hotspurs, Association de Soccer de Hull, Capital United, Rockland United and Almonte Soccer Club in attendance. “What a tremendous opportunity for our players to see the game played at the NASL professional level,” Brian Mason, President of WOSC said. “I’m delighted that Fury FC has embraced the youth soccer community with this program and I know our players are extremely excited for the home opener on April 18.”

Fury FC President John Pugh added, “Fury Fanatics is our way of welcoming the entire youth soccer community to TD Place. Our objective is to have all young players from across the region enrolled in the program.

"Just imagine the atmosphere at TD Place with thousands of young players joining our established fanbase to cheer on the Fury game after game in Ottawa’s world-class facility. I can hardly wait.”

All Ottawa/Gatineau area soccer clubs are eligible to join the Fury Fanatics program and provide their 14 and under players with free access to Fury FC home matches. As there is a limit to the registration numbers in this program club leaders are strongly encouraged to enroll as soon as possible.  

“As we leave the ‘big chill’ behind us, it is clear that the Ottawa soccer community is looking forward to another season of Fury FC soccer on the ‘big green’ at TD Place,” EODSA President Peter Studer said. “On behalf of the Eastern Ontario District Soccer Association, I would like to encourage all of our registrants to become Fury Fanatics!”
