There are a lot of important factors that will determine whether or not the CPL is ultimately successful, but maybe the most important is its visibility.
Following the announcement last week regarding the Canadian Premier League, there is plenty of discussion on its viability. Its uncertainty is mainly attributable to past failures with similar soccer leagues that were previously attempted in Canada. Consequently, there are many issues that need to be resolved prior to its inaugural season to ensure the league launches successfully. However, with the extensive research that has been conducted and a clear growth in Canadian soccer popularity, the league looks as poised as ever to survive and ultimately thrive.
