Halifax, NS — Bell Canada has officially joined Halifax Tides FC as a founding partner, marking a landmark moment in professional women’s soccer in Atlantic Canada. As the Tides prepare for their inaugural season in the Northern Super League in April 2025, Bell’s logo will be proudly displayed on the right sleeve of the team’s first-ever kit, representing a powerful alliance dedicated to advancing women’s sports in Atlantic Canada and beyond.

This partnership transcends beyond the pitch with Bell bringing Tides fans closer to the game through exclusive local activations and match-day experiences. Ultimately, the partnership will be a key component in building a strong soccer community across the region while championing the movement to elevate professional women’s sports.

Bell’s commitment to our journey is a testament to their dedication to creating opportunities and driving change in the world of sports. We are proud to weave Bell into the fabric of our kit and are looking forward to their partnership as we build a club for the community, for the players, and future generations.”
