Saddle up for an electrifying 2025 season with Cavalry FC as they charge into action against Halifax Wanderers FC at the ATCO Field!
Born in 2018 with a thundering hoofbeat, Cavalry FC isn't just a soccer team—it's Calgary's very own sporting cavalry charge! Based at the stunning ATCO Field at Spruce Meadows (yes, they literally play at a world-famous horse facility!), these soccer stallions have been racing up the Canadian Premier League standings since day one.
Led by the tactical wizard Tommy Wheeldon Jr., Cavalry burst out of the gates in their inaugural 2019 season, winning both spring and fall competitions—talk about making an entrance! They even knocked the Vancouver Whitecaps off their high horse in the Canadian Championship, becoming the first CPL team to defeat an MLS side. That's like a rookie cowboy outdueling a veteran gunslinger!
After years of being the bridesmaids but never the bride (especially against their arch-nemesis Forge FC), Cavalry finally lassoed their first CPL Championship in 2024. The victory parade through Calgary was so wild, even the horses at Spruce Meadows were jealous they couldn't join in! Their fans, known for their passionate "Foot Soldiers" supporters group, create an atmosphere that's part soccer match, part rodeo, and all heart. When the team scores, ATCO Field erupts with such energy you'd think they struck oil right under the penalty box!
In 2025, they made international waves by becoming the first CPL team to win a match in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. That's like showing up to an international rodeo and taking home a prize on your first try!
With their red and green colors galloping across the pitch, Cavalry FC continues to show that in Calgary, soccer isn't just a game—it's a stampede of excitement!
