History

Perspective

The club was officially unveiled on November 22, 2021, as an inaugural license holder for the first season of the new semi-professional League1 British Columbia in 2022, operating in Langley, British Columbia.[1] The team was formed in partnership with Trinity Western University and their Spartans sports teams with the head coaches of both the TWU men's and women's soccer teams being involved with the club.[2]

Their inaugural matches occurred on May 22 on the road against TSS FC Rovers for both the male and female teams.[3] The women's team recorded the club's first ever victory, defeating the Rovers 2-1.[4]

In 2023, they formed an affiliation with Canadian Premier League club Vancouver FC, which enables Vancouver to send players to Unity on short-term loans throughout the season.[5][6] In 2023, the club hosted their home season opening male and female match in nearby Chilliwack, British Columbia, before playing the remainder of the season at their home in Langley.[7][8] That season, the women advanced to the women's championship final, where they were defeated by Whitecaps FC Girls Elite, and also qualified for the League1 Canada Inter-Provincial Championship.[8] In 2023, they announced an ownership change, with an investor group led by TSN sportscaster Kelcey Brade taking over a majority share of the club.[9][10]

In February 2024, it was announced that the club would move to Surrey, British Columbia and formed a partnership with youth club Surrey United SC.[11][12]
