History
On May 5, 2018, Calgary was one of four cities accepted by the Canadian Soccer Association for professional club membership.
Cavalry FC was announced on May 17, 2018, as the second team to officially join the Canadian Premier League. Spruce Meadows Sports & Entertainment Group CEO Linda Southern-Heathcott and COO Ian Allison were joined by league commissioner David Clanachan and league president Paul Beirne to unveil the team.
The club's name, crest and colours were all revealed at the event at Spruce Meadows, while Tommy Wheeldon Jr. was announced as head coach and general manager. Plans to renovate existing facilities at Spruce Meadows, resulting in a soccer-specific stadium with a capacity of at least 5,000 seats, were also revealed.
On June 26, 2019, Cavalry FC qualified for the 2019 Canadian Premier League Championship by winning the inaugural CPL Spring season. The following month the Cavs became the first CPL club to defeat a Major League Soccer club in the Canadian Championship by upsetting Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2019 over two-legs. In 2019, Cavalry FC goalkeeper Marco Carducci became the first CPL player called up to the Canada men's national soccer team.
On November 9, 2024, Cavalry won its first ever Canadian Premier League championship by defeating four-time winners Forge FC 2–1 at ATCO Field. The team earned a 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup berth in the process. In February 2025, Cavalry became the first Canadian Premier League team to win a match in CONCACAF Champions Cup, defeating Pumas 2–1 during the first leg of the first round matchup.
Cavalry FC plays its home matches at ATCO Field, located at Spruce Meadows, a renowned equestrian facility that provides a unique and picturesque setting for soccer. The club's passionate fan base, known as the "Cavalry Brigade," creates an electric atmosphere during home games, showcasing the community's unwavering support.
Under the guidance of a dedicated coaching staff, Cavalry FC emphasizes a dynamic and attacking style of play, focusing on developing local talent while also attracting skilled players from across Canada and beyond. The team's commitment to fostering a strong connection with the community is evident through various outreach programs and initiatives aimed at promoting soccer at the grassroots level.
Cavalry FC has quickly established itself as a competitive force in the CPL, consistently striving for success in league play and cup competitions. With a focus on teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship, Cavalry FC embodies the spirit of Canadian soccer and aims to inspire the next generation of players and fans.
