History

Burnaby FC was founded in 2023, through the merger of five youth clubs (Cliff Avenue United FC, Mountain United FC, Wesburn FC, Burnaby Girls SC and Burnaby District Metro Soccer).[1][2] In announcing their inaugural logo, the five wings represent each of the five clubs from the merger.[3][4] In the club's inaugural year, their U17 boys and U17 girls BCSPL teams both won the Canadian national title.[5][6]

In February 2024, it was announced that the club would enter senior teams in the semi-professional League1 British Columbia in both the men's and women's divisions.[7][8]
