MEMBER OF THE MATCH
One member. Every match.
Recognized on the pitch where they belong.
CanadaRED members are the ones who booked the flight, wore the kit in the wrong city, and stayed to the final whistle. Every one of them has a first match they can still describe in detail. For some it was decades ago. For some it was last summer. For every upcoming friendly, Canada Soccer recognizes one CanadaRED member in the stadium as the Member of the Match.
You can nominate yourself. You can nominate the friend who got you into it, the colleague who never stops talking about it, or the family member who has been in the stands since long before you were.
