Provincial Premier Cup Finals - Results
This might not be the PC way to say this but… Mountain United kicked *** this weekend! 4 Provincial Champions!!!
What a display by all our teams in Kelowna on Saturday and Sunday. We dominated 2 of the games and were in position to win all 6 of our matches. In the end we came up just short in 2 of the games while winning the other 4.
Our U14 Boys played a great game but just couldn’t find the back of the net and lost 0-1. Meanwhile the U16 Girls lost a heart-breaker 8-9 in PK’s. Two tough losses to be sure but both were great games and our teams should be proud of how they handled themselves. Well done!
Our first Provincial Champions of the weekend were the U13 Boys, they dominated Fusion, winning by a comfortable 5-1 margin. In similar fashion the U16 Boys were all over the Coastal team and cruised to a 4-0 win. On the Girls side our U15’s won a close one over Fraser Valley while the U18’s made things very exciting, they waited till overtime to finally pull ahead of Surrey United in an exciting 2-1 win.
All things considered this was an incredible weekend for the Club. To all our players & team staff as well as all the parents that made the journey to be a part of the Provincial Championships, amazing job! Congratulations!!!
FINALS Results:
U13 Boys 2003: Mountain - 5 vs Fusion FC - 1

Posted on: November 18, 2025Nationals - G16-1999’s step up
Our MUFC Girls U16 1999 team has taken yet another step forward. These girls sure didn’t let a disappointing loss at the Provincial Championships in June affect them for very long. The team was asked to sub-in for a team that couldn’t make the Nationals in Surrey, no problem, they’re on it.
Our Provincial Champion U18 1997 team couldn’t manage a roster at the Nationals due to post-secondary commitments. Having the 1999 girls step in as our lone National’s team meant a lot to our Club, they didn’t disappoint and we really appreciate their efforts!
This team has come a long way since the initial tryouts years ago. Struggling their first two years to win a game they have constantly improved to the point where this year they are one of the top teams in the Premier League.
At Nationals in Surrey they compiled a respectable record. They lost close games to top teams while winning 2, tying 1 and losing 2. They are now ranked 9th in the country, well done girls! Here is their Nationals scorecard:
Nova Scotia lost 2-1
Quebec lost 3-1
New Brunswick 1-1
PEI won 11-0
Yukon won 10-0

Posted on: October 2, 2025Provincial Premier Cup
Mountain United FC hosted BC Soccer’s Provincial Premier Cup Finals at the Burnaby Lake West field complex last Sunday June 28, 2015. Boys and Girls games in each of the U13, U14, U15, U16 and U18 Divisions vying for Provincial Championships were played simultaneously on fields 1 & 3.
BC Soccer staff and Board members assisted with the organization of the event and were also on hand for Awards presentation to all Winners and Runners-up. Representatives from MUFC’s Districts and Club’s were in attendance, as were staff and directors from the various BCSPL Clubs. MUFC thanks everyone for being a part of the League’s Premier event. The venue was set, the weather was perfect, all that remained…. the games!
MUFC was well represented with 4 of our teams in the Championships. Our U13 Boys started the day off in typical fashion by falling behind 1-0 early in the game to Fraser Valley but roared back to take control of the game and come away with a deserved 4-2 decision. Next up for MUFC was our U15 Boys, they controlled the game early and led 1-0 but in a wildly exciting 2nd half which saw 6 goals, they came up one goal short losing 4-3 to the Metro Ford team that simply refused to quit.
One the girls side our U16 Girls were in for a tough match with League winners from Coastal. Our girls played a spirited game, all the while maintaining their MUFC style of play, but couldn’t manage a goal losing 3-0 to the Coastal girls. MUFC’s U18 Girls controlled much of their match versus Surrey United and prevailed by a 3-1 score.
All things considered the day was a resounding success. MUFC came away with Provincial Champions at U13 Boys & U18 Girls, disappointing losses in U15 Boys & U16 Girls are painful but our teams played MUFC soccer throughout. Congratulations to all participants!

A key player in the formation of the BCSPL League, Frank has been more than instrumental in creating and leading one of the League’s Premier Clubs. Frank’s professionalism and dedication is infectious, our players, club, and the BCSPL League are all the better for his efforts.
Congratulations Frank, we can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for our Club. All the best to you!

The Vancouver Whitecaps and BC Soccer have announced the inaugural roster for Western Canada’s first Regional EXCEL Centre (REX). Of the 22 players selected, eight are former MUFC players - Emma Hooton (2001), Camila Gomez-Hernandez (2000), Julia Grosso (2000), Emma Regan (2000), Sophie Damian (2000), Faith O’Neill (1999), Simmrin Dhaliwal (1997) and Rachel Jones (1997). In addition, Emma Humphries who most recently coached the MUFC 1998 and 2001 Girls teams, has been named as Girls Elite REX and Academy Assistant Coach.
When asked to comment, MUFC’s Technical Director, Frank Ciaccia was naturally delighted at the announcements, “Since inception, this Club has maintained an unwavering commitment to player development and advancement. This philosophy is the core of our operations and our coaches respect it. The BC Soccer 2-Year Review of the BCSPL revealed MUFC was leading the way in the advancement of players at 30%. To now have this additional group into REX along with Emma, truly validates our efforts and we couldn’t be more proud. I will add this also reflects the fine work our grassroots partner Clubs are doing with these young players. Their programs are doing well in readying these players for the BCSPL standard. Congratulations to all of the girls selected to the REX”.

Posted on: October 17, 2025Grouse Mountain - 2nd Annual One Climb - June 14th
Grouse Mountain / Whistler Water is gearing up for their 2nd annual One Climb, set for June 14 on the Grouse Grind. The event is a challenge out to Lower Mainland youth, community members and business leaders to dress in blue and “flood the Grind,” all to raise funds for Free The Children water projects in Kenya. 100 percent of the funds raised through Whistler Water One Climb will support Free The Children’s special water project in Kipsongol, Kenya, where thousands of people lack access to clean water for drinking, sanitation and hygiene.
Last year, more than 1,800 people registered for Whistler Water One Climb and collectively raised more than $110,000 for a Free The Children water project in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya. Building on the success of last year’s inaugural Whistler Water One Climb, our team is aiming to make this Grouse Grind event even bigger in 2014. Not only are we looking to surpass last year’s attendance and fundraising, we’re working on an unforgettable event day experience that includes pop star Victoria Duffield along with the band Neverest, Free The Children’s Spencer West, and Hannah Alper, and much more. It will be an awesome way to celebrate the start of summer and make a difference in the world!
It’s easy to register by visiting www.oneclimb.ca Just follow the prompts to register and set up a fundraising page. Plus there are tools on the website to help with fundraising efforts and more information on One Climb.

MUFC - Euro Tour 2013 - Day 10 & 11
Day Ten
During the morning, the boys once again trained at the grounds of FC Kaiserslautern. Their guest coach for a brief tactical session was former German International and Arsenal player, Stefan Malz. His session essentially centered on player movements utilizing a 6 v 4 structure. In the afternoon, it was off to Frankfurt for a Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt. The atmosphere in the stadium was really something as the traveling Dortmund fans were plentiful and in good song. The match was of a very high standard with some great players showing their technical and tactical qualities. It ended 2-1 to Borussia Dortmund which made for a celebratory departure for the dozens of Dortmund buses leaving the city. Following our return to Kaiserslautern, the boys were treated to a very nice traditional German dinner to conclude a busy day.
Day Eleven
With the final day in Germany, the boys will be having a bit of fun at a local swimming pool in the morning. Following lunch at the hotel, our group will travel up to Frankfurt for the flight home. The inaugural MUFC Euro Tour has been an exceptional experience for the participants. The soccer and cultural events have provided many memorable moments and our players will reflect fondly on the experience. The Club extends its gratitude to Justin Thompson and Dr. Andreas Kirsch for all of their efforts in putting together a wonderful tour for our players. Danke schon!
MUFC - Euro Tour 2013 - Day 8 & 9
Day Eight
A morning training session at the grounds of FC Kaiserslautern was a light one with a six-aside mini tournament featured. The group then traveled to the town of Rudesheim for a beautiful tour of the Rhein River. The many acres of vineyards along the river banks spotted with small villages and castles made for some incredible sights.
Day Nine
The day began with a brisk walk into the center of Kaiserslautern. The group then took a route through the forest and several small towns before arriving at Neiderkirchen. The town was hosting a weekend festival and included a soccer tournament. Two games were arranged for our boys against Regional Select teams as a part of the festivities. Our younger squad played well particularly as they lined up against a team of 1998’s. In the end, the boys went down 2-1 but showed some good qualities. Special mention to our three 2000-born players, Lorenzo De Bei, Gerardo Villavicencio and Jamie Marshall who more than held their own against much larger boys. Lorenzo was unlucky not to level the game as he struck the crossbar on a beautifully taken free kick late in the match. Our older boys came out strong against a team of 1997’s and went ahead by two goals at the half. Devon Jones with the first on a nice individual effort before setting Marko Dackovic up for the second. Our opponents pulled one back late in the game but the boys held for a 2-1 victory. The group was treated to some local cuisine before heading back to the hotel in Kaiserslautern.
MUFC - Euro Tour 2013 - Day 6 & 7
Day Six
The day began with a nice walk through Kaiserslautern up to the Walter Fritz Stadium. This stadium was one of the venues for the 2006 World Cup. Our group was treated to a very nice tour of the facility with access to some restricted areas such as the media centre and private suites. A walk along the sidelines and bench areas provided perspective on the size of the stadium and the atmosphere that would be present during matches. This stadium hosted several important matches in 2006 including the quarter final between Italy and Australia. Our tour guide was still upset on the penalty call that allowed Italy’s Francesco Totti to put them through to face Germany in the semi-final. Next to the stadium at the training field, our boys were able to take in a training session of FC Kaiserslautern’s first team. An added bonus was a Q & A session with Canadian International Olivier Occean folowing the training. An interesting sideshow was the access to the head coach by some of the local supporters as he left the grounds. Some of the discussion appeared quite animated as the coach is under some heat for recent results and overall performance. He was fired the following day. In the evening, our U16 group played against FC Kaiserslautern’s U16 team on an absolutely immaculate grass field at their training ground. Our boys conceded two goals in each half for a 4-0 defeat to an exceptional team. The German boys really demonstrated superior technical and tactical abilities. Our boys did well to create a few chances but the pace of the game was something they would never have been exposed to. It was a distinct privilege for our players to play against such a quality team.
Day Seven
The group once again made the trip up to the city of Karlsruhe where the U16 boys had another tough match. This time with the FC Karlsruhler ’98 team who are current legaue champions with a phenomenal goal difference. On the heels of the difficult match the previous night, our boys found themselves chasing early against another fantastic opponent. MUFC held for the first 15 minutes or so, but the extraordinary tactical movements of the Germans began to expose our players and they eventually cruised to a 5-0 win. While the last couple of matches have been humbling experiences for the older boys, they have come away with a true perspective on the standard of the game in Europe. Again, we considered it a privilege to line up against such quality.
MUFC - Euro Tour 2013 - Day 3, 4, & 5
Day Three
The Boys participated in another full training session at the grounds of FC Kaiserslautern this morning. This was followed up with a visit to the historic and beautiful city of Heidelberg. The visit included a guided tour of its remarkable ancient castle. The rain on the day was a reminder of home but the sights were seemingly a world away. A late dinner and a couple hours of down time concluded the day.
Day Four
The Boys were given some rest time to start the day but found their legs when visiting a large sporting goods store. Later in the day, the U14 Boys played SV Wiesenthalerof, a feeder Club to FC Kaiserslautern. The locals were clearly overmatched with the MUFC team coasting to an easy 9-0 victory. The hosts were gracious and impressed with the abilities of our players. Up the road, the U16 boys were matched up against FK Pirmasen. A winding climb up the mountainside made for some pleasant scenery but there was a significant drop in the temperature making it feel more like a November in BC. The Pirmasen team showed considerable technical ability and were very effective in counterattack. They were able to establish a 2-0 lead before the MUFC boys rallied back on a goal from Willem Kok. With six minutes to go and with MUFC pressing by going with three at the back, Pirmasen found a way to score three late goals to finish it at 5-1. A disappointing scoreline and certainly not one indicative of the game overall, but a lesson in determination and competitiveness for the MUFC players.
Day Five
The group traveled to the beautiful French city of Strasbourg. The canal tour provided some incredible visuals of the architecture and historic buildings. This was followed up with an opportunity to walk the cobblestoned streets and a quick visit to the extraordinary Strasbourg Cathedral. Later in the afternoon, the U14 Boys played a team from the town of Obernai, about 20 minutes from Strasbourg. The local team was essentially a replacement group to the originally scheduled Strasbourg team and did not match up to our boys. MUFC cruised to a lopsided victory and again, the hosts were extremely friendly and impressed with the quality of our play. A 2-hour bus ride returned the group to our base in Kaiserslautern.
MUFC - Euro Tour 2013
Day One
Twenty-eight Mountain United players have arrived in Germany for the Club’s inaugural Euro Tour. Following the long flight to Frankfurt and bus ride into their base, Kaiserslautern, the boys and staff were treated to a fabulous welcome dinner and a walk in the beautiful Bavarian town. It was then off to bed for some much needed sleep.
Day Two
This morning the players took part in their first training session at the grounds of FC Kaiserslautern. Always difficult to work out the weary legs and make the adjustment to the European time zone, so the session was very beneficial. Following training, the group was treated to a Bundesliga match between Mainz and Wolfsburg. The atmosphere in the beautiful stadium was truly electric accentuated by the cheers of the home crowd as Mainz prevailed 2-0. The day was still not complete as the group quickly boarded their bus for a ride to Karlsruhler where the U14 boys played their first match versus a very impressive Academy team. The Karlsruhler Club is famous for producing some of the best young German players. The MUFC boys competed well in spite of their fatigue but a couple of careless possessions led to both opposition goals. MUFC was able to level the game at 1-1 on a terrific through ball from Gerardo Villavicencio to Dallin Akune but in the end the match ended in a 2-1 defeat. All things considered, a very good performance by the players.
Provincial Premier Cup - Finals
Mountain United FC is very pleased to have qualified six teams for the Provincial Premier Cup Finals to be held at South Surrey Athletic Park on June 29/30. During an incredibly busy weekend of semi-final matches, three of our Girls teams and three of our Boys teams punched their tickets to the Finals. Congratulations go out to the U13, U15 and U18 Girls along with the U14, U15 and U17 Boys. Well done and best of luck in the Finals.
