Bell connects with women’s football showpieces in Canada

Telecommunications company Bell Canada has signed on as the first national supporter of the country’s staging of the 2015 Fifa Women’s World Cup and the 2014 U-20 Women’s World Cup.

The announcement was made as Edmonton, Moncton, Montreal and Toronto were named as the host cities for next year’s tournament.

Bell will serve as the official telecommunications provider of the two events.

Wade Oosterman, president of Bell Mobility and Residential Services, and Bell’s chief brand officer, said: “Bell’s industry-leading investments in broadband networks and our experience in supporting amateur and professional sporting events will ensure world-class communications support to these Fifa championships.”
