West Ottawa Soccer Club is a Canadian soccer club based in Kanata, Ontario, just west of Ottawa that plays in Ligue3 Québec. They previously competed in the women's division League1 Ontario. The club continues to operate as a youth club.
History
The club was founded in 2010 as a youth soccer club when local clubs Goulbourn Soccer Club and Kanata Soccer Club decided to merge to form the West Ottawa Soccer Club.[3]
The club joined the women's division of League1 Ontario for the 2017 season[4][5] becoming the first team in the league from Ottawa.[6] They played their first match against Vaughan Azzurri losing 2-1.[7][8] They left the league following the 2018 season.[9]
In 2017, the club formed a partnership with Major League Soccer club Montreal Impact’s Academy, becoming the first club from Ontario to partner with them.[10] In 2023, the men's senior team won the Challenge Trophy (the Canadian national amateur title).[11]
In December 2025, the club announced that they would join Ligue3 Québec for the 2026 season in both the men's and women's divisions.[12] In their inaugural match, the men's team defeated AS Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, by a score of 10-0.[13]
