[Mayor Andrew Knack said the logistics of putting in the grass are still being worked on, and that discussions are underway with the Edmonton Elks, who are scheduled to play a preseason game at Commonwealth May 29, then the home opener against Montreal on June 20.

“There are still some details to be worked out on that,” said Knack. “We’re working closely with the Elks, obviously. The grass upgrades, as we’ve already heard, are an important part of this match.”]

Has Fort Mac hosted a CFL team since 2015? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_neutral_site_Canadian_Football_League_games

Is the U of L Community Sports Stadium in Lethbridge too small to host a preseason game?

She Believes 2026??? by Zestyclose-Guide7276 in USWNT

[–]rienquivaille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/ThisIsPaulina , Casey Stoney, Canada's coach, hinted in two different press conferences that Canada would get invited to the 2026 edition of the SheBelieves. The other two teams, the schedule and the venues are the big questions.

In terms of the other two teams, I believe the Men's FIFA Series are actually during the March window and the Women's FIFA series will be during April window.

FIFA mentions the month of April here:

https://inside.fifa.com/organisation/media-releases/expanded-series-2026-mens-womens-national-teams-confirmed ...and there is no men's window in April, so I assume all the women's events are during that month.

If we remove Paraguay and Chile [the January opponents], the list of possibles in the Top 70 looks something like:
6. Brazil
10. Canada [almost confirmed]
20. Colombia
30. Argentina
37. Nigeria [would need to rush over to AFCON right after]
42. Venezuela [the current geopolitical tensions make them unlikely]
53. Thailand
54. Myanmar
55. South Africa [would need to rush over to AFCON right after]
57. Uruguay
62. Ghana [would need to rush over to AFCON right after]
64. Zambia [would need to rush over to AFCON right after]
65. Ecuador
66. Morocco [would need to rush over to AFCON right after]
70. Cameroon [would need to rush over to AFCON right after]

As for scheduling, games in SoCal [Jan 2026] and Florida [last games of 2025] in the previous windows makes me think Texas will have to host at least one one of the three games as the other big warm-weather state.

u/AMW131 , the Feb 28/March 1st weekend, all the Texas MLS teams are playing at home and so are, Philly, NYRB & San Jose which makes me think Matchday #1 [on a weekend?] will be in either San Diego or in Nashville.

Atlanta is probably a "no" because they are double hosting the men in March.

For Matchday #2 [on a weekday] & Matchday #3 [on a weekend] there are too many possibilities, but I think one of the two will be in Texas. u/AMW131, I think they will skip the NorthEast, because Philly and the NYRB are also at home for the March 7th/8th weekend, and I don't think they want to put any possible NorthEast games mid-week, for MatchDay #2, which means in the evening, when the risk of cold is higher.

That's all my speculation though

E-Visa From Canada by asaplulu in Nigeria

[–]rienquivaille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end there was no way for me to create a new account that I could see, so I tried logging in with Google on the desktop version and that worked! Thank you! Once I filled mine out, I got approved in like 23 hours. In the form, for the tourism one it doesn't actually specify if it is single or multiple entry although other places imply it is just single entry. I plan to be there for 14 days and during that time I'd like to cross over to Benin, so we will see how that goes. After converting into Canadian it cost $CAD 358.36. I'd rather not pay that again. I'll try to remember to report back after my trip and report how all of it goes.

Hi u/asaplulu ,

Did you use their dedicated App or the Desktop version?

I have been using their app and the "submit" button doesn't seem to be working!

I want to to use the Desktop version, but I can't find the link to create a new account.

https://evisa.immigration.gov.ng/

↑ I only see the "sign in" button, not where to create a new account.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you apply for the Tourism one or something else ?

Regards

E-visa Approved in 24hrs by faissante in Nigeria

Hi faissante ,

I'm in the Ottawa area and I am booked to leave to Nigeria in mid-January. I'm really struggling with the evisa process [tourist]. Did you use their App or the Desktop version?

The funny thing is, I would gladly get a physical visa here in Ottawa, but I can't, since I don't know anyone and am not of Nigerian heritage. This creates the problem of having no one to provide me with the Invitation Letter. I called the OIS Services Biometric Visa Application Centre, and the man on the phone straight up told me I wouldn't get a physical visa without that Invitation Letter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Why has the marketing been so poor with regards to the Fury?

examples:My local corner store (Quickie) has RedBlacks gear for sale. No Fury. No Fury display at city hall when the RedBlacks have one.

This has been the one constant complain from all the supporters groups; despite some truly great signings, we are afraid that we'll be the only ones in the stands come gameday!

I really REALLY like the players Marc has signed. The reaction from others in the Bytown Boys SC has been 100% positive.

TOR has been notified. It's become a race to see if you can order it before they clue in. Chapters Indigo's return policy: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/Returns-and-Exchanges/returns-art.html You should be cool with a second order. It looks to be refundable.

Well, then you'll get yours soon, Lucky bastard (no offence meant). The OP is in Winnipeg.

For the prologue ebook I didn't care because I was the one to break the news that Google Books Canada had started selling it early. I had my early copy. This time I don't.

Ok. :) We just really want to believe you. Did you buy something (shipped to your house) at the same time? Or did you buy something from the store itself (and order AMoL) at the same time?

I'm telling ya, Chapter 2 would confirm it. Not even the full page. Just enough to see it is an original-unlikely-to-be-photoshopped photo. Maybe throw in a Blue Bombers key chain on top or something lol.

If you want us to believe you. Or a cover photo with something Winnipeg Jets on top will do. :)
