CALGARY, AB: May 1, 2025 –
Calgary Foothills Men’s (FC) and Women’s (WFC) League1 Alberta teams will play a doubleheader against host Callies United (Callies) on Friday, May 2, at the Shane Homes West Soccer Dome. The doubleheader marks the official start of the season for Foothills, and the Callies will face tough competition against the 2023 season defending champions and 2024 runners-up, FC, and the WFC, who finished the women’s division with a strong performance.
WFC kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Head Coach Lee Tucker says, “We are excited to get the season up and running. Callies have a good history in the men’s and women’s game, and it will be a tough opener. We have brought together a very competitive team with the intent of pushing to challenge for the championship this year.”
Tucker says an exciting player to watch will be Nadia Colon. “Nadia joins us for the first time this summer. She is a full international for the Dominican Republic and has featured in some very high-profile games, such as the Gold Cup. We look forward to seeing what Nadia will bring to the group.”
At 7:45 p.m., our FC team takes the pitch in what promises to be an exciting start to the season, as the squad looks to reclaim the 2023 championship title. Head Coach Connor Brady is eager to unveil this year’s strengthened lineup following a narrow miss in the 2024 campaign.
“With many new faces and the opportunity to lead such a successful and historic club like Foothills into the 2025 season, I’m excited to get things underway,” says Brady. “Our athletes have put in tremendous effort during preseason and in their individual environments over the past year. We’re looking forward to showcasing our club at the semi-pro level and aim to be at the top by the end of July.”
One key FC player to watch is Max Bodurtha. Brady is thrilled to have the dynamic centreback returning for another season. “Max is a commanding presence on the pitch and brings exceptional leadership both on and off it. His impact will be a major factor in a successful season.”
The May 2 matches will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Shane Homes West Soccer Dome, 11014 Bearspaw Dam Rd NW, Calgary, Alberta. Tickets are available at the door.

ABOUT FOOTHILLS FC and WFC IN LEAGUE1 ALBERTA
League1 Alberta is the province of Alberta’s pro-am, standards-based senior league. It serves as a stepping stone between Alberta’s high-performance youth level, elite amateur, and professional levels. League1 Alberta aims to showcase and develop Canada’s future soccer stars, coaches, and match officials. League1 Alberta is an official member of League1 Canada.
In 2023 (League1 Alberta’s inaugural year), Foothills FC capped off a dominant season by finishing first in the regular standings and winning the championship final against St. Albert Impact. In 2024, FC delivered another strong campaign but fell just short of back-to-back titles, losing a hard-fought final to Edmonton Scottish. Despite the setback, the team’s resilience, adaptability, and commitment to excellence stood out. Player development and team cohesion continue to advance, with the club maintaining a sharp focus on the growth of both athletes and coaches, laying a strong foundation for an exciting 2025 season. The Foothills FC League1 Alberta team is coached by Connor Brady.
Foothills WFC competed in League1 Alberta in 2023 and 2024 as a development team for the Club’s Pro-Am program, which participated in the United Women’s Soccer League. During this time, our primary focus was on building our athletes’ skills and preparing them for higher levels of competition. Now, as we embrace new opportunities through the Northern Super League (NSL), we are setting our sights on dominating League1 Alberta in 2025. Our athletes are eager to showcase their growth, and we anticipate a strong season, fueled by ambition, talent, and preparation. The Foothills WFC League1 Alberta team is coached by Lee Tucker.
