The passion for Italian football is experiencing an unprecedented expansion in North America, particularly in Canada, where even Reggiana, with its history and ambitions, is benefiting from this growing enthusiasm. While Serie A captures the spotlight, interest in the entire Italian football system, including Serie B clubs like Reggiana, is sharply rising, further fueled by the anticipation for the 2026 World Cup co-hosted by Canada.

The wave of interest in Italian football in Canada is evident, with an increasing number of fans following the matches. The best platforms to enjoy Serie A in Canada are DAZN Canada and TLN TV, which broadcasts three live fixtures every week, offering easy access that helps spread Italian football culture well beyond the top flight.

This surge in popularity has not gone unnoticed. Lega Serie A confirmed an unprecedented growth of interest in the United States in 2025, a trend also reflected in Canada. Personalities like Lega Serie A President Ezio Maria Simonelli and legend Andrea Pirlo have emphasized the importance of making Italian football more accessible, a goal that indirectly benefits the visibility of teams like Reggiana.

The strong and deeply rooted community of Italian-Canadians, primarily concentrated in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, plays a crucial role in spreading this passion. These fans, connected to their roots, fervently follow Italian football, extending their support to historic clubs like Reggiana, helping to create a cultural bridge between Italy and Canada.

In recent years, Major League Soccer (MLS) has seen the participation of numerous Italian stars, further fueling enthusiasm. Players like Sebastian Giovinco, Federico Bernardeschi, Lorenzo Insigne at Toronto FC, and Alessandro Nesta at Montreal Impact, have left an indelible mark, strengthening the bond between Italian football and the Canadian public, and stimulating interest in all levels of Italian football.

In this dynamic scenario, Reggiana has the opportunity to consolidate its presence and attract new supporters overseas. The expansion of Italian football in Canada represents a unique chance for clubs of every category to become known and appreciated by an increasingly vast and passionate audience.
