| The sun sets on Ontario Cup 2021 |
|
The Ontario Cup Finals came to a conclusion for six more divisions over the weekend at the Ontario Soccer Centre in Vaughan.
This was the first major competition that Ontario Soccer has run in the post-pandemic era and with consistent crowds throughout the two weekends and even larger numbers watching online, it has been a wildly successful Return to Play in the province.
What began as over 600 teams and 12,000 athletes, was down to a final two teams, who were facing off in the 105th running of the Soccer for Life competition.

| Ontario Soccer Player Membership Registration Fees for 2022 Outdoor Season |
 |
| On Dec. 12, 2020, the Voting Members of Ontario Soccer (District Presidents) approved new player membership registration fees for Ontario Soccer’s Outdoor Season. The Voting Members, noting the impact of the pandemic and to minimize the effect on their members, approved the new fees to go into effect for the 2022 Outdoor Season.
For the last decade, as the demand for better services and programs has grown, Ontario Soccer’s resources have not kept pace to match that demand, not to mention the cost of inflation over this period of time. Since 2012, there has been no increase in the Ontario Soccer Outdoor player membership registration fees.
