CALGARY, AB: May 19, 2025 – Fresh off a dominant 5-2 victory over defending League1 Alberta champions Edmonton Scottish, Calgary Foothills FC return to action May 20 with their eyes set on another crucial test. The squad will face Cavalry FC U21 in what promises to be a high-intensity showdown between two of the League’s most dynamic teams.
Cavalry is a formidable opponent, a well-drilled squad boasting some of the province’s top young talent, including many who trained or played for Foothills. Their Friday matchup against Edmonton BTB saw the debut of Cavalry’s Jax Wheeldon, currently a Foothills APDL 09 Boys team member and son of former Foothills TD Tommy Wheeldon Jr, the Head Coach of Cavalry FC.
The Foothills connection continues with James McGlinchey and John Paul Walter. This Cavalry League1 team has also recently fielded players from the Cavalry FC squad, including Chanan Chanda and yet another Foothills alum, Michael Harms.
Foothills FC will need to be at their best, but with key players returning from injury and suspension, the team remains confident they will deliver another strong performance.
“We have a dynamic and exciting group,” says Foothills FC Head Coach Connor Brady. “The attacking instincts of Jamie Nicholson, Amadou Bayo, and Robert Woodroffe-Brown are always a threat. Watch for that instinct to create chances, score goals, and build real momentum throughout the match.”
Fans are encouraged to come out and support the team in what promises to be a passionate, high-stakes evening of soccer. The May 20 match will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Shane Home West Soccer Dome, 11014 Bearspaw Dam Rd NW.
Get Ready for our 2025 Home Opener May 23!
Our Foothills FC and WFC home openers are set for May 23, 2025, at Broadview Field, 2005 Broadview Rd NW, Calgary, AB. Players and coaches will be available for interviews. Contact Lee Tucker for more information.
