Burnaby Football Club is a Canadian semi-professional soccer club based in Burnaby, British Columbia that plays in the British Columbia Premier League.
History
[edit]Burnaby FC was founded in 2023, through the merger of five youth clubs (Cliff Avenue United FC, Mountain United FC, Wesburn FC, Burnaby Girls SC and Burnaby District Metro Soccer).[1][2] In announcing their inaugural logo, the five wings represent each of the five clubs from the merger.[3][4] In the club's inaugural year, their U17 boys and U17 girls BCSPL teams both won the Canadian national title.[5][6]
