| Club History
Victoria West FC was established in 1896. At 108 years
old, we are one of the longest established soccer clubs in Canada. We
have grown from one boys team to six men’s and five women’s.
In 1996, Vic West celebrated it’s centenary. To
honour this occasion, Mr. Dave Unwin researched and wrote a fabulous account
of 100 years of soccer on Vancouver Island.
“From the Sidelines ... A 100 Year View of Vancouver
Island Soccer and the Victoria West Athletic Association” is 360
pages in length and is an excellent read. The book can be purchased ($20.00)
by contacting info@vicwestfc.com
60 brilliant pages are dedicated to the history of Vic
West and we are delighted to share this with you here. However, because
of space limitations photographs have not been reproduced, but one day
we hope to include these as well.
