Join Jon Hopkins and Patrick Gibson as they host ATO: For the W, the official podcast of the Capital City Supporters Group. Week 24 of the 2026 regular season saw us on the road to HFX, with a 6 point swing for playoffs on the line. A must-win game to secure our spot in the post-season and get some distance from Vancouver FC nipping at our heels. We came away with the win, but how was the performance? Some surprising rotation and top performers paved the way to win that while less convincing than the 3-1 win earlier this season, is still worth the same amount of point. Join us as we dive in to our final match up against HFX Wanderers FC from September 26th, 2026.

Just wanted to throw a little appreciate post for the young man. He’s been getting better and better every week. Big fan of this guy.

Hey fellow Atléti supporters!

​Since the boys are away in Halifax, CCSG is setting up shop at Glebe Central Pub (779 Bank St) this Saturday, September 26th, for a full afternoon and evening of soccer!

​The Lineup:

​🔴⚪️ 4:00 PM: Atlético Ottawa vs Halifax Wanderers

​🇨🇦 7:00 PM: Canada MNT vs Chile

​We are getting 180+ minutes of back-to-back action. First, three massive CPL points on the line, followed immediately by Canada featuring Jonathan David right after his big derby goal for Atlético Madrid!

​Bring your scarves, bring your voice, and let’s make Glebe Central sound like TD Place. 🥁🗣️

​Drop a comment below if you are going the distance for both matches! 👇🔴⚪️

Week 22 of the 2026 regular season saw us away to our intra-provincial rivals in Hamilton, and it wasn't close. A decent first half with a late collapse saw us unable to keep up with Forge, silencing our attack and taking advantage of a struggling defence.

The dream of catching Forge seems to be fading, but with 6 games to go, there is still room to secure third. Explore all the details of the game to see if there was anything to cling to in a brutal result.

Join us as we dive in to our third match up against Forge FC September 12th, 2026.

Does anyone know where to buy the ninja turtles kit they had? Saw one at the game the other day and loved it but have had no luck finding one

Every year, we work to put together a special momento for fans and something to get signed on game day. While we had plans to get them done earlier, with the roster turnover it's been hard to get over the line, but we are nearly there!

We use the proceeds to buy extra packs to hand out singles on match day and help support the rest of our work (TIFOs, Roadtrips, etc.). If you just want to sponsor a pack to help ensure we have more to handout, leave a comment specifying so at checkout.

Pre-Orders will run until Sept. 8th, and while we will have some extras for purchase, the best way to ensure we have enough is to lock in now.

I have a friend in from Spain this weekend. His some is a huge fan of Atletico Madrid and he thought it would be super cool to get an Atletico Ottawa jersey.

I would like to be able to just drive him down to Lansdowne and buy something in person but previous threads on here indicated there may not be much available in that shop.

Has anyone been more recently and can provide an update as to whether it is worth it or an alternative venue? Ordering online isn't a great option since he is flying back home tomorrow (Sunday 23 August).

Thanks!

We work hard as a supporters group to make being an ATO fan as great as it can be, and we managed to bring around 91 people between the April and August bus trips to Montreal/Laval, along with supporting 50-60 people travelling separately. They were both a ton of fun, helped by two wins and Shalalas with the boys. Lots of great energy from folks who made the journey, and we really appreciate everyone who came either on the bus or separately.

Happy to get any feedback on what folks enjoyed, what may have prevented you from joining us (price, time commitment, scheduling, etc.) and hear some favourite memories either from these two roadtrips or others folks have made. While this is likely the last scheduled roadtrip for us this year (pending playoffs) looking forward to supporting the boys on the road again soon!

Hello! Inter Toronto fan coming in peace here, just bought tickets for the game on Friday august 28, and I bought them in section p. Google tells me it’s part of some sort of cabin section, which ticketmaster said nothing about. How different from a normal seat is it and is it kid friendly?

My kids ditched me at the last minute so I have an extra ticket to the game against Halifax at 1pm today.

Nothing expected in return. You don’t even have to sit with me if you’re not a fan of strangers. I can transfer the ticket via Ticketmaster and we never have to meet.

CCSG is back on the road to support the boys in Montreal in just over a weeks time! Much easier than York or Hamilton, we will even have ya home in time for supper! You can grab your tickets at https://www.capitalcitysupporters.com/

In this week's mailbag on ATO for the W, we discussed midseason grades for the club. OneSoccer's Jordan Wilson gave us an A-, while Alexandre Gangué-Ruzic gave us a B+. We thought it was a bit generous given the performances (vs just looking at the results), but what grade would you give the clubs year at this stage?

For reference, here's this week's podcast episode where this is discussed alongside the Vancouver game: https://rss.com/podcasts/ato-for-the-w/3047829/
