Kingston FC is a Canadian soccer team based in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The team was awarded a franchise in 2011 as a member of the Canadian Soccer League.

The club fields two teams in the CSL, a 1st division team, Kingston FC and a 2nd Division reserve team, Kingston FC Reserve. The club began 1st and 2nd Division CSL play on May 5, 2012 in their inaugural CSL season. For the 2013 CSL season, Kingston FC trains and plays their home games at the Queen's University West Campus Turf Field, located at Johnson Street and John A. Macdonald Boulevard.

History

The team began play in the 2nd Division of the Canadian Soccer League in 2011, however they played most of their games as double headers in Maple, Ontario rather than in Kingston.^[1] Kingston FC teams played their first full seasons in the CSL in 2012, finishing at or near the bottom of the standings in both 1st and 2nd divisions. The club has enjoyed a very successful 2013 CSL season with the 1st Division team, which was in first place for much of the current season, clinching the CSL regular season championship on September 29 with a 5-3 road win in Burlington. Both the 1st and 2nd Division teams have qualified for the CSL play-offs, the first post-season play ever in the history of Kingston FC.
