‘Anything is possible’: North Battleford Spurs set to represent Canada at Saskatoon World Cup
A tight-knit soccer team from North Battleford will soon step onto the field wearing the red and white.
The North Battleford Spurs — a team built on years of friendship, resilience and love for the game — will compete under the Canadian flag at the multicultural tournament over the May long weekend.
“We’re all proud to be Canadian,” said player and manager Ivan Sopka, who moved to Canada from Serbia 17 years ago.
“We would like to go and try to represent Team Canada and win the tournament. We’re not just going there just to try.”
