Our Story
MAC United Soccer Club started up in 1999 by a group of youth playing soccer for fun. With time, those youth envisioned to start a soccer club where people can enjoy playing soccer and spend good quality time with each other. Shortly after, this idea came to life and MAC United Soccer Club came to existence and became the first and so far the only Muslim Soccer Club in Calgary. MAC United provides healthy environment for the kids to stay active, to make new friends and to enjoy playing one of the most popular sports in Canada, Soccer. With being the only Muslim Soccer club in the city of Calgary, MAC United promotes the positive Islamic moral which encourages good sportsmanship and fair game play time for all players. MAC United at one point reached 20 teams of boys and girls from ages 4 to 19 years old. We are continuously working hard to retain players and recruit new players.
