The Maritime Super Series is an annual soccer exhibition tournament contested by three teams in the Maritimes, Canada. The competition is a showcase series for a potential semi-professional League1 Canada competition for teams in the region, to be known as "League1 Atlantic".
Format and teams
The series was formed in response to an interest in the formation of a potential League1 Atlantic division that would form part of League1 Canada.[1] Three clubs, one from each Maritime province, participated in the inaugural 2023 edition of the men's and women's tournaments, which were played over three weekends and each culminated in a final.[2][3] The HFX Wanderers intend to field teams in the 2024 edition.[4]
