As the MLS is Back Tournament continues in Florida, Major League Soccer continues to review its options for resuming play in home markets.
The Canada-U.S. border and accompanying restrictions, including the need for quarantine, loom large in those discussions.
Having Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver face off, either in one-off contests or home-and-away series against each other would buy the league some time, in the hope that travel restrictions ease. The league is also working on makeup games needed for FC Dallas and Nashville SC, who are behind the other 24 teams after being forced to pull out of the Florida tournament due to positive COVID-19 tests.The Blue Jays were forced to play south of the border after the federal government nixed the team's proposal to host American teams at Rogers Centre.
"Of particular concern, the Toronto Blue Jays would be required to play in locations where the risk of virus transmission remains high," Mendicino said in a statement.
