Caledon United FC won the 2025 Ontario Cup women’s championship

Caledon United FC won the 2025 Ontario Cup women’s championship after they came from behind to win 2:1 over first-time finalist Banat FC Kitchener. Kristy Walton scored the equaliser in the first half before a Kyra Dickinson free kick in the second half was headed by a defender into her own goal for the Caledon United FC winner on Saturday.

Both Caledon United FC and Banat FC Kitchener had already qualified for the 2025 National Championships that will take place in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador later this year. Ontario Soccer were awarded a second berth to the competition on Saturday after Saskatchewan Soccer withdrew from the women’s amateur championship. Both Caledon United FC and Banat FC Kitchener won their Ontario Semifinals on 24 August.

Caledon United FC previously reached the National Championships two years ago after they finished runners up in the 2023 Ontario Cup. This year marked the first time Caledon United FC captured the Ontario Cup women’s championship.
