Luso Canada by Paulo Pereira

Episode notes

In this episode of the LusoCanada Podcast, Bernardino Nascimento reflects on the origins and history of the Luso-Canadian Soccer League, one of the most important sporting institutions in the early Portuguese community in Toronto. A founder of the league and of Casa das Beiras of Toronto, Bernardino recalls how football brought immigrants together in the 1970s and 1980s, from informal games around Augusta and Nassau to organized competition at Lamport Stadium and beyond.
