History

Foundation and Early development

The club was founded in 1973, when the city of Cambridge was amalgamated. ^{[1] [2]} The club is officially named Cambridge Youth Soccer, with the competitive teams operating under the name Cambridge United. In 2018, the club was granted a license to have youth teams participate in the OPDL. ^[3]

In 2022, a new seven-field complex began construction for the club, ^[4] which was completed in 2024, which will be shared with Conestoga College. ^[5] (It was originally to be a 12 field facility when announced in 2018) ^[6]

Semi-professional team

For 2025, they officially added a semi-professional team in the League1 Ontario pyramid, in both the men's and women's divisions, after having participated in the Reserve Divisions for a few years, joining the third tier League2 Ontario. ^{[7] [8]} The women's inaugural match resulted in a loss to Waterloo United in the League1 Cup, while the men defeated first tier side Alliance United FC 3-0 to advance to the second round. ^[9] Their home opener occurred on April 27 against Waterloo United B. ^[10]
