Why This Matters
Immigrants make up a massive portion of Canada’s growing sports fanbase — but their voices, stories, and perspectives are often sidelined in traditional sports media.
Pitch Pulse exists to change that.
By offering a seat at the table to diverse fans and contributors — from Somali kids playing in Scarborough to Nigerian expats debating Liverpool vs. Man City — the podcast becomes more than commentary. It’s:
- A platform for representation in the global football conversation
- A bridge between culture, sport, and community development
- A magnet for brands and sponsors looking to reach multicultural, sport-loving audiences authentically
- A countdown companion for the 2026 World Cup, rooted in lived immigrant experience
This is football the way we live it — bold, global, and grounded in real Canadian immigrant life.
