Windsor Soccer Club Transfers Competitive District Program to Windsor TFC
Program to be rebranded as Windsor City FC to reflect unified regional identity
As part of an ongoing partnership, Windsor Soccer Club (WSC) and Windsor TFC has announced the transfer of WSC’s competitive district soccer program within the Essex County Soccer Association (ECSA) to Windsor TFC.
Effective immediately, this program will now operate under the Windsor City FC brand. This exciting development aligns with a shared vision to create a comprehensive soccer ecosystem that connects grassroots and elite levels of play under one cohesive identity.
“Windsor City FC represents the next evolution of soccer in our region. By consolidating programs under one banner, we can provide a clear and aspirational pathway for players while building a stronger and more competitive soccer community for Windsor and Essex County.” – JJ Dowhan, technical director for Windsor TFC
This transition marks an important milestone in the continued effort to unify the region’s competitive soccer structure and strengthen the player development pathway across Windsor-Essex.
Windsor Soccer Club will continue to operate its successful house league program, which has been running for 46 years at Ford Test Track. The club will also maintain its partnership with the Windsor City FC competitive program, providing house league players with opportunities to advance through the WCFC pathway.
“After many years of successfully developing young athletes, Windsor Soccer Club is proud to see our competitive program take this next step,” said president Greg Williams. “This move ensures continued growth opportunities for players, access to advanced coaching and facilities, and a clearer path toward high-performance and professional levels.”
This movement will ensure operational continuity and improved technical integration, including access to expanded training environments, enhanced coaching resources and a comprehensive performance model.
Under the Windsor City FC brand, players will benefit from a structured pathway linking youth, reserve and senior levels, up to League1 Ontario and beyond.
Angelo Verardi will continue to lead the district program (L5) as technical co-ordinator and will join the technical committee, which oversees the club’s development model.
