(Ottawa) — The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is proud to announce that it will host the 44th Annual North American Police Soccer Tournament (NAPST) on September 10th to 12th, 2025, in Ottawa.
This event will bring together police officers from across North America to compete in a series of soccer matches designed to foster camaraderie, teamwork, and physical fitness among law enforcement officers.
