It is with great disappointment that FC LONDON announces the cancellation of the 2020 season for both Men and Women. Hats off to Ontario Soccer, Canada Soccer and CPL, all of whom have weighed in on this tough decision. League1 focuses on player preparation for post-secondary and professional play and this decision is certainly a 'bump in the road' as players look to follow their aspirations, however player, staff and public safety were all key factors in the decision. When combined with Ontario government phases, which have pushed back training schedules and access to facilities, the league simply ran out of runway in being able to provide a timeline solution for both pre-season preparation and a league schedule that would work for all parties. The club will now prepare for the 2021 season and looks forward to brighter days ahead. To all the fans, staff and players, stay healthy, stay safe and keep checking www.FCLONDON.ca for additional information.
