We are pleased to advise we are working with the intention to merge and amalgamate Mountain United FC, Cliff Avenue United FC, and Wesburn FC, as one club. This strategic union will bring youth players, coaches, staff, volunteers, and parents under one club named: Burnaby Football Club.
Upon completion of the merger, we are also excited to announce our new President, Guido Titotto. Guido has been actively involved in the game of soccer for over 40 years. Major accomplishments include playing professionally for the Vancouver 86ers from 1987-1994, and playing for the Canadian National soccer team (U16, U19, U23, & Men’s level) from 1985-1993. He continues to play competitive men’s soccer in the O45 Premier division of the VMSL for Columbus FC, and has been volunteering as a Youth Soccer Coach, Board Member, and Club President at Cliff Avenue United FC since 2008. Born and raised in the City of Burnaby, Guido continues to reside in Burnaby with his wife and two boys.
Burnaby is one of Canada’s largest soccer producing cities, yet it is one of the few regions that does not have a fully integrated club to develop and nurture players through their soccer-playing path at different technical levels. We have a multi-tiered system operating in different organizations. The new organization will look to bring a comprehensive technical and operating infrastructure to yield a superior experience for the players Burnaby FC will embrace a positive culture and facilitate a movement to improve the youth sports culture in Canada to one that encourages high-quality coaches and environments that support positive youth development and social emotional learning and well-being.
