Evolution FC is a Canadian semi-professional soccer club based in Coquitlam, British Columbia that plays in League1 British Columbia.
History
[edit]In July 2024, it was announced that Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC was awarded an expansion franchise to play in the men's and women's divisions of League1 British Columbia for the 2025 season.[1][2] The club will play out of Percy Perry Stadium at Town Centre Park, which has been the home of Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC for several years.[1] The club played their inaugural matches on April 4, 2025, with both clubs drawing TSS FC Rovers 2-2, however the women's team illegally substituted a previously substituted player in the 90th minute, resulting in the match being changed to a 3-0 forfeit loss.[3][4] In the following matchday on April 12, both teams earned their first victories with the men winning 1-0 and the women winning 3-1, both over Nanaimo United.[5]
