The Canadian Premier League has taken over operation of FC Edmonton while a search for new ownership continues.
The league said it has been working with current owners Tom and Dave Fath “for several months to identify and assess potential new owners and that process is ongoing.”
“To ensure a smooth transition, the CPL has been involved in the club’s day-to-day business and football operations and will continue to do so until a transition to a new, permanent ownership group is completed,” the league said in a statement Friday.
The league said Tom Fath will remain with the franchise as a strategic adviser throughout the sale process while Alan Koch will remain as head coach “and work closely with the CPL football operations department to build a competitive roster for the 2022 season.”
