While the eight teams will all be playing at IG Field for at least the first chunk of the campaign, some will be dealing with an uneven playing field. Last year all the teams kind of went in at the same preparation rate, Smyrniotis said of last summer s Island Games. The teams had the same time on the pitch. We were all doing the same things . I think this year you ll see a little bit of variance in that, with some of the teams who have been fully training for the last two to three months.
The Manitoba capital will host the first 32 games of the campaign with each of the eight teams playing eight games in a stretch that will run through July 24. The league is committed to teams playing a full 28 regular-season match campaign, in a single-table format, and is planning to return to home markets after the Winnipeg portion.

Eriks Santos is a name known by HFX Wanderers FC fans, even though they have yet to see him play.
The 24-year-old Brazilian was unable to join the squad for the 2020 Island Games in PEI because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but he’s itching to arrive in Halifax and prove to supporters that the wait will be worth it.
Santos watched every match of The Island Games from his home in Brazil and often reached out to show his support for the players and the club during the competition.
The Wanderers think enough of him that they extended his contract for next seasons, with two options on 2022 and 2023.
