Toronto FC . The team is a member of the Canadian Soccer League, the highest professional soccer league operating entirely within Canada.On
March 29 ,2008 , Paul Beirne, Toronto FC Director of Business Operations, announced that"The goal of Toronto FC is, of course, to one day hoist the MLS Cup but another goal has always been to have an indelible mark of the soccer landscape in Canada, and specifically Ontario. It is our hope that Toronto FC not only be the aspirational choice for young soccer players in Canada, but an academy that has a real effect on the development of young, talented players. When we needed to find a league that would test the mettle of the best players in the academy we wanted something that would test them technically, physically, and tactically – after all, in most countries in the world, U18s are in professional environments – but at the same time wouldn’t jeopardize their amateur status and the CSL was an ideal fit.”

Lamport Stadium located in Toronto, Ontario. They will play in the National Division.upporters
