This year’s 2025 National Championships for the Challenge Trophy will be played from 7-13 October in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador. As Canada Soccer’s largest national event featuring clubs from coast to coast, the National Championships have served as the nation’s primary amateur soccer competition for more than 100 years, with the men’s competition inaugurated in 1913, the youth competition inaugurated in 1966, and the women’s competition inaugurated in 1982. At all age levels, the National Championships provide a meaningful week-long soccer experience for host cities and participating teams, as well as the players, coaches, support staff, officials, and volunteers.
