Halifax Tides FC joins as NSL's East Coast club
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story stated the club had confirmed they will play at the Wanderers Grounds; they remain in discussions but nothing is finalized at this time.
Thursday night revealed the latest Northern Super League club, Halifax Tides FC, as they move closer to their official kickoff in April 2025.
The club's crest, colours, and name were introduced as the East Coast side becomes the second professional football club in Nova Scotia and the first professional women's team in Atlantic Canada.
"Halifax is a soccer city," said Mayor Mike Savage. "With year-over-year growth in the population of our city alongside worldwide interest in women in sports and the beautiful game, it's the perfect time to welcome the Halifax Tides FC.
"I look forward to cheering them on and to seeing the positive impact the team will have on our city and generations of young women pursuing their soccer dreams."
Although the online store has launched, much of the club's infrastructure has yet to be revealed, but the club has confirmed they are in discussions to play at the Wanderers Grounds.
“We are thrilled to introduce Halifax Tides FC to our community,” said Courtney Sherlock, Co-founder & CEO of Halifax Tides FC.
“We are here to nurture the joy found in sport and empower future female leaders. What sets our club apart is the unwavering support of our East Coast community. Together, we champion women’s sports, and provide opportunities for our athletes, our city and our country. In Halifax, our club foundation is built upon collaboration and a profound sense of camaraderie. It’s time to seize our moment and rise together.”
