For FC Edmonton's head coach, how the Bundesliga restarts its season this weekend will be something to watch for as his team and the Canadian Premier League await word on when or if their season will get underway.

One of Ottawa's highest profile sports executives is leaving behind the CFL's Redblacks and the OHL's 67's to focus on making soccer work in the capital.

The CFL has asked the Trudeau government for up to $150 million in financial aid if it is forced to cancel the 2020 season due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The Canadian Premier League has joined the Canadian Football League in asking the federal government for financial assistance during the global pandemic.

FC Edmonton was supposed to kick off its second season in the Canadian Premier League over the weekend but instead, the soccer team took to the keyboard.

The 33-year-old comes to the expansion Canadian Premier League team from Spanish third-tier side CD Calahorra.

Atlético Ottawa's roster has risen to 12 players with the addition of attacking midfielders Osah Bernardinho and Francisco Acuna from Ghana and Mexico, respectively.

Tevin Shaw, 23, is the Canadian Premier League team's second international signing after Englishman Vashon Neufville, who joined on Tuesday.

"He is a tremendous talent that will strengthen the centre of our defence," Ottawa CEO Fernando Lopez said in a statement.

The start of the season is on hold for Valour FC and the Canadian Premiere League
