About the Kitchener & District Soccer League

Kitchener and District Soccer League is a competitive amateur Canadian men's soccer league.

 

The league has been in operation as the KDSL since 1975. Historically the league has operated with a first or premier division and a second division. As of 2013 only one 11 team premier division competed for a KDSL title and there hasn't been a second (or lower division) since the 2010 season.

 

There is also a cup tournament called the KDSL Cup. In previous decades the KDSL Cup was named after the chief sponsor of the tournament - the Molson Cup and the Da Silva Cup. Some teams also participate in the Ontario Cup with the only Ontario winner coming in 1981 when the Greek backed KW Olympics or "big blue machine" collected the honours. The league champion also has the option of joining the Ontario Soccer League (OSL).

 

Most teams are located within or around Kitchener, Ontario as well as other nearby cities such as Stratford, Cambridge, Guelph, and other smaller towns from the area. Playoffs at the end of the season determine the champion of the league. The top 6 teams qualify for the playoffs in each division.
