Blue Devils Football Club (formerly known as Oakville Blue Devils FC) is a semi-professional soccer club based in Oakville, Ontario. The senior men's and women's teams currently compete in League1 Ontario men's and women's divisions.[1][2]
History
Past teams of same name
The original Oakville Blue Devils was a member team of the Oakville Soccer Club. The team was built, coached and developed by Phil Iafrati (1947–2013),[3] where they won the U19 provincial and national championships in 1998.[4] As the Devils reached the end of the youth soccer circuit that season, Iafrati restarted the program with the a U9 program Oakville Blue Stars in 1999.[5]
In 2005, the second edition of the Blue Devils were formed when the Scarborough-based Metro Lions of the Canadian Professional Soccer League relocated to Oakville and adopted the Blue Devils name,[4] coached by Duncan Wilde.[6] They won the 2005 season defeating Vaughan Shooters in the final.[7] In 2006, Wilde left to manage the Toronto Lynx, which resulted in a mass exodus of players not returning. [8] The club was relocated in 2007 and became Brampton United, bringing to an end the period of the Oakville Blue Devils history.[3]
Revival
Шаблон:Stack In 2015, the club was founded to play in the semi-professional League1 Ontario, named after the original team from prior years.[3] The Toronto Lynx men's senior team was incorporated into the Oakville team[9] and in late 2017, the teams merged completely under Oakville's umbrella.[10] In their inaugural L1O season, they were crowned league champions and qualified for the Inter-Provincial Cup against the champion of the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec to determine the Canadian Division III champion, where they defeated CS Mont-Royal Outremont to win the title.[11] In 2017, they won their second title, defeating Woodbridge Strikers in the Championship final on penalty kicks.[12]
In 2018, the team played in the Canadian Championship for the first time where they lost in the first qualifying round against 2017 PLSQ champion AS Blainville.[13][14][15][16] Later, during the 2018 season, they played a friendly against Italian professional Serie A club Frosinone Calcio, losing by a score of 2–0.[17][18][19]
Also in 2018, the club added a team in the women's division of League1 Ontario, beginning in the 2018 season.[20][21] In their second season, the women advanced to the Championship Final, where they were defeated by FC London.[22] In 2021, the women once again finished as runner-ups after being defeated in the finals by the Woodbridge Strikers.[22]
In 2020, the club merged with GPS Academy and was renamed to Blue Devils FC.[23] The men finished as runner-ups in both 2021 and 2022, being defeated in the Championship Finals by Guelph United FC and Vaughan Azzurri, respectively.[22]
