Soccer has been an important factor at Memorial University since the 1920’s when it was Memorial College. For many years it was intramural soccer between teams from various faculties with occasional games against outside teams.
A decision to enter Atlantic Intercollegiate competition was made in 1968 and a Memorial University male team played several “testing” games against teams from other Atlantic universities.
A Memorial University male varsity team was entered in 1969 and was immediately competitive. Male teams have been involved since 1969 with a 1970 Canadian Intercollegiate championship highlighting the University’s soccer record.
Atlantic Intercollegiate female soccer was introduced to Memorial University in the late 1970’s and has been a major aspect of the University’s athletic program.
