Atletico Ottawa

Part 18 of our local holiday gift guide covers all the bases for Ottawa sports fans on your list.

We have made it into summer’s wind down and it is time to soak up all we can of these remaining summer weekends. Make it a priority to get outside and enjoy the sunshine while we can. There are plenty of reasons to get out and about this weekend, if the fleeting warmth of the season’s sunny skies isn’t enough to draw you from your living room. Here are just a few of them.

Brand new soccer club Atlético Ottawa plays its first competitive match this weekend.

The new club is financially backed by a major Spanish club and aims to begin play at TD Place in 2020.
