CALGARY, AB – Calgary Foothills WFC and FC head north this Saturday, June 21, to face off against St. Albert Impact in a League1 Alberta road doubleheader at Riel 1. With both Foothills teams in the top three of their respective standings, every point is critical in the race toward the postseason.
WFC vs. St. Albert Impact Women – 4:00 p.m. Kickoff
Foothills WFC currently sits atop the League1 Alberta table with 18 points, just ahead of the Calgary Blizzard and St. Albert Impact. Saturday’s match is a crucial clash between the league’s top three teams and could prove decisive in the final stretch of the season.
“St. Albert are always a very strong group—well-coached and cohesive, especially with much of their roster connected to the Grant MacEwan University program,” said Head Coach Lee Tucker. “There has been an intense rivalry between the two clubs for a number of years now, and we know it will be a very challenging game.”
Returning to familiar territory this weekend are Anneke Odinga and Amelia Russo, current Grant MacEwan players and former members of the St. Albert system, who will face off against familiar faces. On the opposition side, players like Sariyah Bailey (recently signed to Calgary Wild of the NSL), U17 Canadian international Adalyn Fairweather, and Canadian youth national player Eden Bretzer add firepower to an already formidable St. Albert lineup.

After a string of strong performances, Foothills FC enters the weekend in third place with 13 points, just behind Calgary Blizzard and Edmonton BTB. St. Albert Impact are close behind in sixth with 11 points and boast one of the league’s best goal differentials.
“We fully understand the importance of every game at this stage of the season,” said Head Coach Connor Brady. “We’ll look to build on the strong performances we’ve had over the past few weeks. Leaders like Caden Rogozinski and Max Bodurtha have stepped up recently, and we’ll need those efforts to continue if we want to stay in the hunt for a League1 Alberta title.”
Caden Rogozinski has been a steady presence at the back, anchoring the defense with maturity and composure beyond his years. Max Bodurtha continues to impress alongside him at center back, forming a solid defensive partnership that has been crucial to Foothills’ recent run of form. Their leadership on and off the pitch has been instrumental in Foothills’ recent run of form.

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 and is an official member of League1 Canada.
In 2023 (the League’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.
