The Toronto Varsity Blues Men's Soccer is a Canadian intercollegiate soccer team founded in 1879. They represent the University of Toronto. The program operates in the Ontario University Athletics conference of U Sports, and the team competes in the East Division of the OUA. The Varsity Blues play their home games at Varsity Stadium, a 4000-seat stadium in downtown Toronto on the University of Toronto-St. George Campus.
The Varsity Blues captured one National Championship in 1988. The 1988 National Championship team has since been inducted into the Varsity Blues Hall of Fame.[2] The Varsity Blues won 49 provincial OUA Championships with the most recent one in 2010. The Varsity Blues won the Argo Cup in the Red and Blue Bowl in 2013.[3]
In January 2019, Ilya Orlov was appointed as the new Head Coach after serving as the Lead Assistant Coach for 4 years under Anthony Capotosto's tenure.[4]
