Get ready, sports fans! For the first time ever, Calgary, Alberta, will host the U18 Women’s Tackle National Championship! This thrilling nine-day event will bring together the best young female football players from all over Canada.

Thanks to Alberta’s government, who generously provided $200,000 in funding, the championship will highlight the incredible talent of these athletes while showcasing Alberta as a top-notch destination for major sporting events.

Around 450 visitors are expected to come to Calgary, and they’re projected to boost the local economy by a fantastic $1.6 million! This influx will come from spending on food, lodging, and transportation as teams, fans, and supporters converge on the city.

With eight teams from provinces including Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and more, competition for the national title will be fierce. Alberta, who proudly won the first two championships, is eager to reclaim the crown in 2025 on home soil!

Don’t miss the chance to witness the exciting growth of female tackle football—a sport gaining popularity across the nation. Calgary offers the perfect setting for such an inspiring event. Let’s cheer on these amazing athletes and show them our hospitality!
