4 minute read 6:41 PM CDTAnd we’re back!
Hopefully the bye week gave everyone a chance to collect their breath as Week 23 only amplified the drama in the standings.
Ottawa drew 0-0 on the road against Montreal, Calgary drew 0-0 on the road against Halifax and Toronto took a 2-1 victory at home over visiting Vancouver.
While there was minimal shuffling in the standings — mainly the Mighty Maroons leapfrogging the Rapid for second overall — here’s a look at the remaining games and their implications with two weeks left in the regular season.

At showdown FIFA meeting, Infantino apologizes for World Cup furor but leaves critics unhappy
6 minute read Yesterday at 1:48 PM CDTZURICH (AP) — Gianni Infantino apologized to FIFA's ruling council on Thursday for “mistakes” in his secretive investment plan for the World Cup but didn’t give details sought by his toughest critics who want to oust him as the president of soccer’s governing body.
Soccer officials came to the meeting in Zurich hoping to receive more information about two of the biggest controversies that have surrounded Infantino this year: his now-aborted $4.2 billion World Cup sell-off plan and the Folarin Balogun red-card case at the World Cup where President Donald Trump intervened.
Despite Infantino’s apology, European delegates said they left the meeting disappointed about what they saw as a lack of clarity about the two disputes.
“No satisfactory answers were provided,” said German soccer leader Bernd Neuendorf, one of eight delegates from European soccer confederation UEFA in the 37-member FIFA Council that Infantino chairs.

FIFA proposes $6.3 billion funding for soccer development, $25 million for each association
2 minute read Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026SAO PAULO (AP) — FIFA will propose to its members a $6.35 billion fund for soccer development between 2027 and 2030, including a boosted amount of $25 million for each national association, according to a document reviewed by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Soccer’s world governing body said in a document that it will use the financial success of the latest World Cup “to enhance investment in football development across 211 FIFA member associations, confederations and other stakeholders.” Originally, each association was to receive $10 million for the four-year period.
The document, dated Oct. 14, says FIFA proposed to distribute more than $3.5 billion from its financial reserves “based on the unprecedented commercial” success of its 48-team World Cup.
The move comes as European soccer leaders seek a candidate to try to oust Gianni Infantino as FIFA president. Infantino’s divisive World Cup private investment plan — that was scrapped within days of being revealed in July — prompted UEFA to act.
