Niagara 1812 is currently an an amateur soccer program with two teams, a Men's and Women's team. We have a Vision for a 3-5 year plan and are aspirations are simple, become a Professional team(s). We think we have the know how in all aspects of a sports team operationally, technically and gameday experience.
With the upcoming Men's FIFA World Cup coming to the USA in 2026 and potentially the Women's FIFA World Cup coming to the USA in 2027, we think it's the right time to develop a brand in our area and bring on partners immediately to aid us in building this from the ground up. We would look for financial backing ($75k-$200k) or other in kind support. We want to get our program moving in a positive direction. We are already an experienced group having built a program previously from inception to play with a profitable results in similar leagues.
