Yellowknife FC is a football (soccer) club from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The club sends a senior men's and senior women's team to represent the Northwest Territories at the Challenge Trophy and the Jubilee Trophy respectively. The Yellowknife FC Senior men's squad made its first appearance at the finals in 2011. The senior women entered in 2012. Every year the teams compete for a top-eight spot in the 12-team competition for men and the 10-team competition for women. Such a finish would give the Northwest Territories a better seeding the following year. [1]
The current squads are preparing for the National Club Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia 2013. [2] The Men will be featured in group B which also includes the champions from Alberta and Nova Scotia. The women are in group A featuring the champions from Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
