We are not a short-term results club.
We are a long-term development system.
Calgary Villains FC is a National Youth Licensed Club operating as a not-for-profit. Founded in 1981 by Chris Baker and a group of passionate alumni, we have grown into one of Calgary's premier player-development environments.
At Villains FC, everything we do is built around one standard: player development at the highest level — from grassroots to Pro-Am — for as many players as possible, for as long as possible. But when development is done right, results follow.
In 2025, Villains was the only club in Calgary to send two teams to PDP Nationals in Ontario — a significant achievement considering only eight teams from the entire province qualified, and two were ours.
Villains isn't just a club. It's a complete development system. And a place to call home.
Calgary Villains F.C. is devoted to fostering and providing a Grassroots, Development and High-Performance Soccer environment in order to give all players, coaches, referees and managers every opportunity to enjoy the game of soccer and to help them achieve their maximum potential as participants in this sport.
