It wouldn't necessarily have to be a group of people from the interior, from even BC or Canada.

Rob FriendGUEST
In the Canadian Premier League, look, we've got myself as ownership group in Vancouver.

Rob FriendGUEST
canada in our league we've got ownership groups in toronto that's that's they're from mexico we've got a local group in in hamilton we've got a canadian group in calgary that's also you know local so i think it's a mix of we've got international investors in our league we've got local ownership groups um so i think it's just about finding the right mix or there's a mix of it it could be a group of local business folk that also want to bring in some some international uh investors what's happening in in football or in sorry in soccer i call it football there's a lot of globally there's a lot of investors globally that want to invest in canada they believe canada's a really hot and right market for the growth of the game it's one of sort of the last countries they were investors believe that it's um huge growth opportunity happening in North America, happening in countries like Canada.

Rob FriendGUEST
So I think there's certainly, I can tell you, there's a lot of interest internationally to invest in Canada.

Joseph OtooCORRESPONDENT
And I wonder what you say to them about what moving a team from an expansion team into Kelowna would do to improve the city for people that are not keen on the sport.

Rob FriendGUEST
There's going to always be people that are unhappy, but certainly I would say that, you know, you have to invest to bring investment.
