Niverville Force MMSL team folds

After five years of rising through the ranks of amateur soccer in Manitoba, the Niverville Force are no more.

The team, founded in 2021, started in Division 4 of the Manitoba Major Soccer League and got all the way to Division 1, just one step below the Premier Division, the top level of soccer in Manitoba.

“After five enjoyable seasons, our men’s soccer team has decided to conclude our journey,” a statement from team management reads.

“Together, we created a community of friendship, teamwork and passion for the game. It’s been a wonderful experience, and now it’s time for everyone to pursue new opportunities. We appreciate all the support from our players, families, and fans throughout the years.”

The Force were one of Manitoba’s best amateur soccer teams in terms of attendance, drawing great crowds in Niverville.

“To all the players, their families, our fans in Niverville, the coaches/staff, and everyone who supported us-your passion, energy, and community made this journey unforgettable, we will always cherish the memories we made together. All great things must come to an end — thank you from the bottom of our heart.” a social media post announcing the team would be ending reads.

The region will still have a Division 1 outdoor MMSL team this year, with the Hanover Kickers earning promotion from Division 2 last season.
