Regina will be hosting its first ever Vanier Cup. USPORTS announced on Saturday that the 2025 Canadian national university football championship will be played at Mosaic Stadium, the home of the University of Regina Rams and Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Lisette Johnson-Stapley, USPORTS' chief sport officer, said the organization is thrilled to bring the Vanier Cup to Regina. "The city is known for its enthusiasm for football and deeply engaged fan base, which solidifies Regina's status as a city where football plays a significant and beloved role in the community's sports culture," Johnson-Stapely said in a statement. "Hosting the Vanier Cup for the first time is an incredibly memorable experience, and we look forward to celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Cup with the University of Regina." The University of Regina is still looking for its Vanier Cup win.
The Rams only appearance was in 2000 in a loss to the University of Ottawa Gee Gees. It's not the first time Canadian university football's biggest game is being played in Saskatchewan.
Saskatoon hosted the Vanier Cup in 2006 at Griffiths Stadium, the University of Saskatchewan's Huskies home field. The Huskies have won three Vanier Cups.
