History
The club was founded in 1976 to serve the communities of Unionville and Milliken in Ontario.[3]
Originally a youth soccer club, the team added semi-professional teams in League1 Ontario in the women's division in 2017, followed by a men's team in 2018.[4] In their inaugural season, the women's team finished in 4th place.[5] Unionville announced that their club would go with a fully professional model, as opposed to an amateur or semi-professional approach, becoming the second fully professional team in the league, after Toronto FC III.[6]
The men's team was formed through a partnership with York Region Shooters, who played in the Canadian Soccer League until 2017, to form a professional club in L1O to begin in 2018, created through the relationship of Shooters' owner Tony De Thomasis and UMSC coach Filipe Bento.[7] They played their inaugural match on April 29, 2018 against Windsor TFC,[8] which resulted in a 3–1 victory.[9] In 2022, the women's reserve team won the League1 Ontario Reserve Division.[10]
