Atlético Ottawa is inviting soccer fans to a free watch party on Saturday as Canada takes on Morocco in the World Cup round of 16. The event will be held at TD Place, with doors opening at 11 a.m. and the match kicking off at noon.
Event Details and Fan Experience
The watch party is open to all ages and will feature big-screen viewing, food and beverage options, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Fans are encouraged to wear red and white to support the Canadian men's national team, which is making its first appearance in the knockout stage since 1986.
“This is a historic moment for Canadian soccer, and we want to bring the community together to cheer on the boys,” said an Atlético Ottawa spokesperson. The club will also have giveaways and activities for children.
Canada's World Cup Journey
Canada advanced to the round of 16 after a dramatic 2-1 victory over South Africa in the group stage. The team, led by captain Alphonso Davies, has captured the nation's attention with its spirited performances. Saturday's match against Morocco promises to be a tough test, as Morocco finished top of its group.
Fans unable to attend the watch party can catch the game on CTV and TSN. The match will also be streamed live on the CBC Sports app.
“We’re expecting a huge turnout,” the spokesperson added. “This is a chance for Ottawa to show its soccer pride.”
