How can football surpass the other popular sports in Canada?

How can football surpass the other popular sports in Canada?

Canadians are famous for the fact that they're fans of many sports, especially baseball and basketball. However, this doesn't mean people do not follow other things, such as football.

The sport has been growing in popularity every year, and 2022 was the best one yet because of the World Cup. More people are interested in football in Canada now than ever before, but this is not enough to make the sport the go-to option for everyone. A lot of sports fans are not interested in it, so here are a couple of things that football can do to become more popular.

Football should become more popular on TV

Despite the fact that the internet is taking over the world, a lot of people still rely on TV to watch their favorite sports. Some of them even look for TV ads to find the best online casinos, such as JackpotCity, which operates in Canada and accepts users from different places around the world. Since a lot of Canadians watch TV, once the leading TV channels start focusing on this sport, it will allow football to stand out.

Nowadays, some of the leading sports channels in the country will allow people to keep track of the hot football championships like La Liga. However, due to the time difference, most people watch the matches early in the morning, which makes them less exciting.

Some of the best teams in Canada need to sign at least one well-known football player

Among the big reasons why this sport is becoming more attractive in some parts of the world is because of the transfers. The fact that the world's biggest names, such as Messi, joined a top team in the USA makes this sport a lot more interesting because people will be eager to watch one of the best players in action. Sadly, we are yet to see a top-tier Canadian football club sign in a world-class player.

There have been some rumors before, but none of the big names in Europe is ready to move to Canada yet. In fact, most of the players that make this move are older and have already reached the peak of their careers. Unfortunately, the level of football in Europe is way more advanced than in any other part of the world, so the best players will always choose this continent over something else. However, many of the older players that have already won everything and made a name for themselves will be happy to try their luck elsewhere, especially when money is involved.

Football has become more popular among hardcore ice hockey fans

One of the easiest ways of making something more sought-after from many people is by promoting it to those who are hardcore fans of something else. Once you convince those people that something is worth it, the latter will quickly become popular.

Promoting football to people who are hardcore fans of other Canadian sports, such as ice hockey, won't be easy. However, considering the growing popularity in the USA, it is probably just a matter of time before more and more people in Canada decide to give it a try.
