CPL clubs have operating expenses of about $4 million a year. (Source: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/cpl...nces-1.5941457) We're in year 4 and there are 8 teams, so the non pandemic years puts us at $92 million there. Plus startup costs, infrastructure costs, etc. I've been told Cavalry have put over $10 million into their stadium.
So this seed money came from Soccer Canada, but diverted through their business arm. Surely, it was going to be re-invested into the CPL regardless.

Such an ambiguous sum, would be wild to get an audit in there.
