Our History

Since its inception in 2018, Pacific FC has rapidly ascended to prominence in Canadian soccer, showcasing a remarkable trajectory of on-field success. Our club's journey began with a triumphant debut on April 28, 2019, securing a 1–0 victory against HFX Wanderers, signaling the start of a formidable presence in the Canadian Premier League (CPL). The pinnacle of Pacific FC's accomplishments came on December 5, 2021, when we clinched our first CPL title by defeating the defending champions, Forge FC, 1–0 at Tim Hortons Field.

During that same season, Pacific FC made headlines by defeating Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps FC 4–3 in the 2021 Canadian Championship in front of a sold out Starlight Stadium, becoming only the second CPL team to eliminate an MLS club in the competition. This early achievement set the tone for our clubs competitive spirit and commitment to excellence. In 2022, Pacific FC made it to the second round of CONCACAF League recording a 6-0 win over Jamaica’s Waterhouse FC at home in the process. In 2024, Pacific FC secured their third canadian championship semi-final birth in four years. In the CPL, Pacific FC have made the playoffs in sixth straight seasons, a feat only accomplished by two other clubs. These milestones reflect our unwavering dedication to success and our significant impact on Canadian soccer.
