History
Established as a youth soccer club, the club was founded in 2002.[1] In December 2020, they were awarded the Canadian Soccer Association national license for their excellence.[2]
It was announced that they would enter the women's division of Première Ligue de soccer du Québec starting in 2022,[3] becoming the second team from the Quebec City area in the league (Royal-Sélect de Beauport is the other).[4] Their men's team, however, was not selected to join for the 2022 season,[5] as they had been playing at the AA level in the Ligue de soccer élite du Québec in 2021, rather than the AAA (as the women were).[6] The men joined the AAA level for 2022, with the hope of joining the PLSQ the following year.[7]
The women played their first PLSQ match on May 7, 2022, defeating CS Longueuil by a score of 1-0.[7] They finished third place in the league in their inaugural season,[8] qualifying them for the Coupe PLSQ, where they finished in second place, after being defeated by AS Blainville in the final.[9]
