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 (one of the projects of Muslim Association of Canada). 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.  Our competitive soccer involves playing in the CMSA (Calgary Minor Soccer Association) and CUSA (Calgary United Soccer Association) Leagues.

 

 

MAC United organize both Competitive Soccer (Developmental) as well as Community Soccer (Recreational).  MAC United is also planning to incorporate a new program called Girls Empowerment, this program will focus on attracting more girls to be active where they play soccer on a weekly basis and also engage girls in youth activities which promotes youth activism and societal engagement as well as personal development.

Our Mission

Our mission is to establish a strong presence in Calgary soccer community where youth and adults can enjoy playing both developmental and recreational soccer.

MAC United is at the forefront in articulating vision, developing leadership, mobilizing grassroots, and encouraging the spirit of volunteering and giving back to the community.

MAC United welcomes the opportunities to engage new hearts and minds and to form new partnerships and alliances to help make Calgary a better place for all Canadians.
