Yesterday, I went to this store called La Copa Sports on 9939 170 St NW to purchase the new Men's Nike Canada Soccer jerseys.

I purchased two jerseys: Canada Soccer 2026 Home Stadium Replica Jersey (Red)

Canada Soccer 2026 Away Stadium Replica Jersey (Black)

The total came to approximately $231 after tax.

I had been searching at Nike Canada, Sport Chek, United Cycle, Foot Locker, JD Sports, Lids, Champs but most places were sold out of my size.

Since I had previously bought soccer merchandise from La Copa Sports years ago, I decided to check there.

While paying, I was told the point-of-sale machine was not working and was asked to pay by e-transfer instead. I thought nothing of it and sent him the money. I never received a receipt and left. Before leaving the owner said no refunds as he smiled.

After getting home and taking a closer look, I noticed issues with the jerseys. The next day I compared them against authentic Nike Canada Soccer jerseys in a Sportchek location and found numerous differences in the material, stitching, tags, construction, and overall quality.

After thoroughly examining both jerseys, I am one hundred percent t convinced they are counterfeit and not authentic Nike products as represented.

I then checked Google reviews and found multiple reviews from customers describing similar concerns regarding authenticity.

Looking back, there were some red flags I didn’t recognize at the time, including the POS machine not working and being asked to e-transfer. I went ahead with the purchase based on prior experience with the store.

I plan on returning to the store tomorrow morning to request a full refund. Not too sure how it will go.

Has anyone else purchased from this place before?
