The Manitoba Major Soccer League (MMSL) is an adult soccer system based in Manitoba, Canada. The MMSL has both indoor and outdoor leagues. It is sanctioned by the Manitoba Soccer Association (MSA), a branch of the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA).
The highest level of amateur soccer in the province of Manitoba is the MMSL Premier Division. Winners of the Manitoba Soccer Provincial Championships (MSA Cup) are eligible to represent the province and compete for the Challenge Trophy, the highest national amateur cup competition in Canada sanctioned by the CSA.[1]
Players come with a variety of playing backgrounds, including high school, college, university, academies, semi-professional, and ex-professionals.[2][3]
History
[edit]Founded in 1971, the league was previously known as Manitoba Central Soccer League (1971–1999) and the Molson Super Soccer Alliance (1990–1999). As a non-profit organization, the league is overseen by a volunteer board.
League structure
[edit]MMSL features over 85 teams overall, who compete in 9 outdoor divisions.[4] In the winter months MMSL offer indoor league play at 6 levels of competition.
Playoff divisional champions receive a cash-prize of $250.
