"Canadian Soccer Business (CSB) is an agency that represents a suite of top-tier national assets that are core to the new and burgeoning soccer economy in Canada. This includes representation for all corporate partnerships and media rights (broadcast and distribution) related to Canada Soccer’s core assets including its Men’s and Women’s national teams and the Canadian Championship, along with all rights associated with the Canadian Premier League – Canada’s Tier 1 domestic professional men’s soccer league that debuted coast-to-coast in April 2019."
