2019 saw Cavalry FC kick off its first-ever season in the inaugural season of the Canadian Premier League, Canada’s new top-tier professional soccer league.
And it was a memorable first season with Calgary’s club winning the CPL Spring and Fall seasons, reaching the semifinals of the Canadian Championship and only narrowly losing in the 2019 Canadian Championship Finals to Forge FC.
Here are some of 2019’s biggest moments from Cavalry FC’s home matches at ATCO Field in Spruce Meadows:
