Question
Help me play soccer in Europe?
Answer
There is a long history of soccer in Canada. The first game played under modern rules took place in Toronto in 1876. The first league the Dominion Football Association was formed a year later. Canada was an early soccer power, winning the gold medal at the 1904 Olympics and competing with the best teams in Europe and the United States. The Canadian team declined as the sport was outcompeted by Canadian football and ice hockey in terms of popularity and players. A steady stream of immigrants from soccer countries kept the game at a limited popularity, but it has never again entered the mainstream. In the 1980s Canada was well represented in the North American Soccer League, but this league folded in 1985. This was replaced by the Canadian Soccer League that began with teams in eight Canadian cities. This league existed from 1987 to 1992. The top level of play in Canada today is the USL First Division, formerly the A-League, with three clubs: Montreal Impact, Toronto Lynx, and Vancouver Whitecaps. The governing body of soccer in Canada is the Canadian Soccer Association. The league in Europe with the largest content of Canadian footballers is the Football League Championship, in England.
