It was accidental and hasn’t been officially announced, but on March 12th we found out that the fourth Project8 sports franchise will be based in Halifax. Three job postings (President, Chief Business Officer, Business Development Manager) conspicuously went up for an organization called Atlantic Womens FC claiming to bring professional women’s soccer to Halifax.

December 5th, 2022. We will never forget that date. It’s the day Diana Matheson announced the launch of Project 8 Sports and their mission to bring professional women’s soccer to Canada.
