The partnership will see both Fleming College Athletics and ECFC promote Fleming Knights Soccer, Fleming College, and the community of Peterborough as a must-visit destination for Canadian soccer fans from May to August.
“We are excited to play our inaugural season at Fleming College, overlooking the rolling hills of Peterborough County, on the beautiful campus of Fleming and home to the Fleming Knights,” ECFC President Rob Jenkins said. “We are thankful for the staff at Fleming College who have been great to work with and have been very accommodating in meeting our needs. We are excited to have them on board as a long-term partner as they have committed their support for the club for years to come.”
The facility will be transformed for the season and will include local food vendors, music, a kids zone, beer gardens, supporters area, family zone, and a VIP area along with 90 minutes of exciting professional soccer.
The capacity of the stadium is being temporarily increased to 2,000 for the season with the hopes that the community will come out and support Peterborough’s newest sports franchise.
