Association de Soccer de Pierrefonds is a Canadian women's semi-professional soccer club based in Pierrefonds, Quebec that plays in Ligue1 Québec. Their L1QC team operates under the name Pierrefonds FC.
History
Established as a youth soccer club, the club had an established program for many years, including a senior team in the Ligue de Soccer Elite Quebec, Quebec's top amateur division.[1]
The club announced that they would enter a team in the women's division of the semi-professional Première Ligue de soccer du Québec.[2] They had originally planned to enter the team into the league a couple of years earlier, however, floods had damaged their fields, requiring them to delay their entry.[3] However, the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the 2020 season and upon the league's re-start, the club decided to not participate in 2020.[4]
The club has a working arrangement with top-tier Spanish club Valencia CF.[1] In 2020, Pierrefonds received their national license recognition from the Canadian Soccer Association.[5] In 2020, the club decided to merge with Club de Soccer Dollard to form Force FC, although the PLSQ club is still expected to be under the name Pierrefonds.[6][7]
In their first season in 2021, they began the year winning their first five games, ultimately finishing fourth in the division.[8]
