Toronto FC and the MLSE Team Up Foundation, in partnership with Kia Canada Inc. and Toronto’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation department, teamed up to unveil a newly refurbished soccer pitch at Sorauren Park on Monday.

The refurbishment, funded by the MLSE Team Up Foundation, Kia Canada Inc. and Toronto’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation department, represents the sixth sports facility this year to benefit from Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment’s (MLSE) and the MLSE Team Up Foundation’s hockey rink, basketball court and soccer pitch legacy program.

Toronto FC players hosted youth from the Sorauren Park Association during the hour-long event, which marked the first community appearance of the full ‘new-look’ Toronto FC squad.

"We’re thrilled to make a difference for the kids and families that will use this pitch and contribute to the growth of the beautiful game," said Michael Bartlett, executive director, MLSE Team Up Foundation. "The aspiring young players of tomorrow need places to play and learn. Through our legacy program we’re trying to ensure that communities like this one have those facilities."
