SENIOR PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS In 2016, Alberta Soccer ran 26 Senior Provincial Championships including 13 indoor championships and 13 outdoor championships. Edmonton District Soccer, Calgary United Soccer and Calgary Women’s Soccer stepped up once again to host these competitions and Edmonton hosted all of Senior SoccerFest. Senior SoccerFest saw Edmonton Scottish defeat Edmonton Green & Gold in the Challenge Cup final and despite the result, both teams had already booked their spots at the National Club Championships in Newfoundland. On the women’s side, a rematch between Edmonton Victoria and Edmonton Northwest United in the Jubilee Shield final provided an entertaining match in which Edmonton Northwest United snatched a 119th minute goal to claim the title as Provincial Champions and earn a spot at Nationals. Both provincial final games were streamed live via Alberta Soccer’s new competitions website in partnership with Canada Sport TV. Canada Soccer’s Western Masters and Classics Regional Championships were held in Winnipeg at the end of September. Edmonton Victoria represented Alberta on the men’s side and brought home a bronze medal while Calgary Tsunami Blues represented Alberta for the first time on the women’s side and finished in fourth place.
