Only one gets to be champion. Only one gets to lift the North Star Cup.
Iron sharpens iron over 30 games in a long season.
Every win rallies the troops.
Every loss is just a lesson learned.
Every point earned is a gateway to do battle for the ultimate prize. Four becomes two, and now two becomes one.
The Shield winners go for the Double.
Cavalry FC have proven themselves over a regular season after lifting the CPL Shield.
Time and time again the boys from Calgary shown that they can overcome any obstacle and fight back against any setback. Going down 2-1 in Montréal was just another valley in their journey as they reach the peaks in the distance.
One more win will give them the Double, a first in Canadian Premier League history, and they'll get to do it in front of their home crowd at ATCO Field.
The defending champs are back for the big game.
Atlético Ottawa have a chance to defend their North Star Cup while on a similar journey to 2025.
Like last season, they had to take out the juggernauts in Forge FC. They'll have to beat Cavalry once again to repeat, but they'll have to do it on enemy territory this time in Calgary.
One more win will make them the second team in CPL history to win back-to-back North Star Cups.
The Canadian Premier League Final will be played at ATCO Field on Saturday, November 21, at 3:00 P.M. ET. The match will be broadcasted on OneSoccer, CBC, and TSN.
