Yeah, well, look, we're growing the CSA, the Canadian Soccer Association, through philanthropy, through a new contract and relationship with CSME, which is basically the league CPL and their ownership group.
So we're making a lot of incredible advancements and inroads into supporting and creating a better infrastructure for the sport moving forward.
And we were also in the meantime looking for opportunities to have a really good outreach
for some charitable programs, the ability to make a difference in communities because at the end, this is still what matters the most about being able to represent the country the right way.
So my personal connection to it is that my wife had breast cancer five years ago and she's healthy now and she's on the mend and we're close to her five year time period where now you can start to feel like you're a little bit out of the woods
And so it's personal for me.
I think it's real personal for the Canadian Soccer Association, and it's an opportunity for us to really make a difference in the community.
So we're excited about it.
The Canadian Cancer Society has been incredible and incredibly supportive to the sport and obviously to people
who suffer from cancer in the community.
And so anything we can do to create better awareness, early testing, to really be supportive in the community in a lot of different ways, I think that it's a really good way to make a difference.
Can I say one more thing, Brian?
Please do.
There's tickets out there still for the Iceland and Tunisia matches.
So it's an expanded stadium.
It's a chance for everybody to see what the new stadium is like.
Let's get that thing full, man.
Let's give our players the opportunity to see what it feels like to play in a sold-out crowd at home and make them understand what the comforts of home can really be like and make sure that we're all motivated at the World Cup to make sure we give our team the best chance to be successful.
A little bit of coaching training.
You can find time for us.
