Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC qualified for Canada Soccer’s National Championships for the second time in three years after they won BC Soccer’s 2026 Women’s “A” Cup. Coquitlam’s Kiera Scott was the goalscoring hero after she scored both the 1-0 and 2-1 goals against Trinity Western University in the provincial Final at Newton Athletic Park in Surrey on Saturday 2 May.
This year’s National Championships will take place in the City of Ottawa when Ottawa Gloucester SC hosts the women’s Jubilee Trophy and men’s Challenge Trophy competitions for the first time.
