With confirmation that there will be a minimum of 10 matches played at the Wanderers Grounds in 2021, Derek Martin and HFX Wanderers FC anticipate a sold-out crowd when the players finally return home.

"We continue to work closely with public health to build a plan that follows the guidelines outlined in Phase 4 to ensure the safe return of fans to our venue. We are very thankful for the hard work put in by Nova Scotians to get vaccinated, as that gives us this opportunity to help our community regain its strength, through the power of sport".
