The operator and Giovinco will kick off the partnership with a giveaway on Instagram and host a Live to give picks and predictions for upcoming World Cup matches.
The watch part for Canada’s next game on November 27, 2022, will be held at the local Toronto Sports pub, The Firkin on Bay Street. There Giovinco will join the supporters of the national team in cheering for the team in their second WC game. The soccer star will also publish pre-game and halftime hits, led by OneSoccer writer and sportscaster James Sharman.

The CEO praised the soccer player for his stature and record in the Canadian and global soccer community and added that the insights that he will bring to the team, players, and platform will be a game-changer.
Via the partnership, the player will allow the operator to use his name, image, and likeness for marketing and advertising purposes both during and after the World Cup. The two will now develop an active partnership, as the soccer legend provides his expert insight into the Canadian and international soccer landscape, as well as his new-found love for the country and Toronto.
