FC Boisbriand was a Canadian semi-professional soccer club based in Boisbriand, Quebec that played in the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec.

History

The club was originally formed in 1977.[1]

In 2012, the semi-professional club was established to play in the newly formed Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division III league, as one of the founding members.[2] Their home field was located at Parc Régional 640.[3] They played their first match on May 6, at home, against FC L'Assomption.[4] They had a rivalry with A.S. Blainville, with both clubs being from the Laurentides region.[5] After the 2013 season, they withdrew from the league, having failed to meet league regulations.[6][7]

At the end of 2019, the club merged with three other local clubs - FC St-Eustache, Shamrocks TC and Phénix de Saint-Joseph-du-Lac - to form Club Revolution FC.[8]
