Brampton City United FC
Brampton City United FC is a Canadian soccer team, founded in 2002. The team plays in the Lika Supergroup Open Division. The club plays out of Victoria Park Stadium in the community of Brampton, Ontario.
The Metro Lions were the second club from Scarborough, Toronto to join the Canadian Professional Soccer League in 2002. In their debut season, the team was an instant threat to the established clubs in the league finishing runners up in their division, and reaching the semi-finals in the postseason. The Lions struggled in their sophomore season, but rebounded the following season. In 2005, the organization merged with the Oakville Soccer Club and Oakville Premier Soccer Academy which resulted in the relocation to Oakville, Ontario under the name Oakville Blue Devils. Oakville managed to acquire several USL, and top CPSL veterans in their debut season. The acquisitions were vital in the club capturing their first CPSL Championship. In their second season the club failed to defend their championship, but still added silverware to their trophy cabinet by clinching their first National Division title.
In 2007, saw a conclusion to the Oakville experiment as the club returned to Scarborough under the name Canadian Lions. In 2008, the franchise relocated once again to Brampton under the name Brampton Lions. During the club's tenure in Brampton the Lions have managed to become a consistent playoff contender missing the playoffs only three times. In 2011, the club re-branded as Brampton City United, and left the CSL in 2016 to compete in CAF LIKA Supergroup Open Division.
Toronto Lions FC were formed in 2002 under the ownership of Arnold Milan, and Anthony Ayo serving as the club's president. The administration board consisted of Bill Dixon, Francois Glasman, and Aldwyn McGill serving in the General Secretary, Treasurer, and Club's Promotions and Liaison roles. The club's territory was located in Scarborough, Toronto, and Birchmount Stadium served as the home venue. Tony Laferrara was selected as the club's first head coach. Laferrara notable signings were Brian Bowes, Darryl Gomez, Anton Skerritt, Caswain Mason, and O'Neil Brown serving as team captain.
In the first part of the season club president Ayo resigned and was replaced by McGill. Subsequently, three weeks later after a 3–3 record, Laferrara was dismissed from his role with McGill given further responsibilities as head coach. McGill managed to achieve a seven-game undefeated streak which led to a postseason berth by finishing third in the Eastern Conference. The Metro Lions posted the second best defensive record, and finished in the top five with the best offensive record. In the postseason the Lions faced division champions Ottawa Wizards, but suffered a 1–0 defeat. McGill was awarded the CPSL Coach of the Year.
For the 2003 season McGill signed Trinidadian international Hayden Fitzwilliams, Aaron Benjamin, Maxim Dorneval, Nikola Vignjević, and Gabriel Pop. Unfortunately the Lions failed to repeat their previous success, which resulted in McGill transferring his head coach responsibilities to Goran Miscevic. Though the Lions performed poorly during the regular season they still managed to find success in the Open Canada Cup tournament. In the tournament the club reached the finals where they faced London City, but lost the match on penalties by a score of 4–2. Their season concluded with a fifth-place finish in the Eastern Conference, and failed to secure a postseason berth.
In the 2004 the club formed an affiliation with G.S. United Soccer Club of the Ontario Soccer League in order to develop players. During the regular season Miscevic managed to completely transform the team by finishing second in the Eastern Conference. The Lions finished with the second best offensive record, and only recorded three losses. In the postseason the club faced the Vaughan Shooters, but were eliminated by a score 5–3.
On March 30, 2005, it was announced the Metro Lions were purchased by Oakville Soccer Club, and Oakville Premier Soccer Academy relocated to Oakville for the 2005 CPSL season. The franchise was renamed to Oakville Blue Devils, and their home venue was moved to Bronte Stadium.
