The biggest goals in ACAC soccer are set to reach an even wider audience through a new partnership with First Touch Football Canada.
First Touch Football will be the presenting sponsor of the ACAC’s weekly Powered by First Touch Football Goal Reel, featuring the top men’s and women’s soccer goals from across the conference each week. The partnership also includes recognition across ACAC social media, digital content, and website features, celebrating the outstanding talent and memorable moments from the 2026 season.
This collaboration is a natural fit as many current ACAC student-athletes and coaches have participated in First Touch Football Canada combines and events, helping prospective student-athletes gain exposure to post-secondary programs while providing coaches with valuable recruiting opportunities.
“Partnerships like this are incredibly valuable because they demonstrate a genuine commitment to the growth and exposure of soccer in the ACAC,” said ACAC Soccer Sport Management Team member Dhee Govender. “As a coach, it’s extremely encouraging to see First Touch Football investing in our student-athletes and helping elevate the profile of our league. Their support creates more opportunities to celebrate our athletes and showcase the quality of soccer being played across the ACAC.”
Beyond highlighting weekly goals, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting the student-athlete experience and strengthening the pathway for collegiate soccer in Canada.
“Our student-athletes represent the future of our sport and our communities,” Govender added. “By increasing the visibility of their achievements, this partnership will benefit not only our current athletes, but also future recruits, coaches, and supporters of the game. It’s a positive step for the ACAC and for the continued progression of soccer in Canada.”
The partnership brings together two organizations that share a passion for growing the game and creating opportunities for student-athletes.
First Touch Football Canada was founded with the mission to increase exposure and create pathways to players all across Canada. We have connected athletes with opportunities to showcase their talent, gain exposure, and take the next step in their soccer journey.
