History

edit

Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club was founded in 2007 as a merger between Metro-Ford Soccer Club and Coquitlam City Soccer Association. Both clubs were originally founded in 1984.[1]

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club senior men's team, Wolves, have won the Men's Provincial A Cup twice,[2] the Vancouver Metro Soccer League Premier Division five times,[3] and the Imperial Cup once.[4]

Since the merger in 2007, its boy's teams have won the Provincial Premier Cup 11 times,[5] the Provincial A Cup six times,[6] and the Provincial B Cup twice.[7]

In 2024, it was announced that Coquitlam Metro-Ford will be participating in League1 BC as Evolution FC starting in 2025.[8]

Colours and badge

edit

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford badge includes aspects from the two clubs that merged. According to the club's website, "The Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club logo is built around a shield which reflects the Club's stability, longevity, and tradition. The blue and black stripes are a tribute to Inter Milan, a passion of one of the Club's founders. These stripes continue to honour our past while reflecting excellence and distinction. The words, 'Soccer for Life', are inscribed in the centre as a call to action and reminder to all that our goal is to inspire a passion for the game that evolves into lifelong involvement - playing, parenting, coaching, refereeing, and/or volunteering in support of the club and our community."[9]

Stadium

The club plays the majority of its home matches at Town Centre Park, but its teams also play at Dr. Charles Best Secondary and Centennial Secondary.
