Hokulani Limited, a global investor in professional women’s football, has announced the acquisition of franchise rights to a team in the yet-to-be-launched professional Canadian women’s football league. This league, being built by Project 8, is due to kick off in 2025.
The announcement was made by Daniel Thomas Loitz, Director and Principal Investor at Hokulani Limited. He stated: “It feels right to be involved in the league that Project 8 are building to further advance international women’s football. Canada in particular deserves a domestic league because of the outstanding players it has already produced.”
Loitz also mentioned the construction of their own stadium with attached facilities, and how it is important to them to further the strong connection between the UK and Canada.
The acquisition of Canadian franchise rights adds to Hokulani Limited’s portfolio in professional women’s football, which already includes teams in Ukraine, Romania, England, Finland and Canada. In October 2023, shares in the FA Womens National League Club – Halifax FC Women Limited, were acquired.
Project 8 Co-Founder and CEO, Diana Matheson, commented: “We know the incredible impact this professional league will have in Canada, from the impact on player pathways, to opportunities for girls and women on the field of play, as well as beyond it. We are so excited to add Hokulani Limited to our ownership groups, getting us one step closer to kick-off in 2025.”
In Spring 2024, Hokulani Limited will announce which Canadian city and team name have been selected.
