The Victoria Highlanders Football Club is folding its men’s and women’s League1 BC team.

“Despite our best efforts over the past 2-months we have been unable to reach an agreement with the new owners of League1 BC that would allow us to carry on the Victoria Highlanders and still maintain our mission of providing a volunteer driven, not-for-profit community team for women and men looking to take their next step in soccer,” says an announcement on the team’s website.
