The story of FC Anjou began in 1982. Forty-one years of hard work. And it shows. The rise is impressive, the motivation is growing, the challenges are adding up. It's quite simple. FC Anjou is THE soccer club in the borough, and it's taking up more and more space in the neighborhood.
An ambitious club with many teams.
Thanks to its long existence, FC Anjou now has 800 members. From 4 years old to over 50, the game is a hit. Several packages are available to suit all members.
"We range from recreational to hyper-competitive packages, we believe that to play soccer, any reason is a good one," explains André Thomas, Technical Director.
On the fields of Roger Rousseau, Lucie Bruneau, Goncourt and Talcy parks, FC Anjou strives to develop soccer in the borough. It also provides a competitive offering for the most motivated. "Our club is currently recognized as a regional-level club by soccer Québec, which means it is entitled to field LDIR (formerly AA) level teams. Our ambition is to reach the provincial level within the club recognition program," says Thomas.
This is how several teams, evolving at different levels, make this club an ambitious one, turned towards its neighborhood and its inhabitants. At Anjou, everyone can participate, learn and have fun playing soccer. All levels are accepted.
FC Anjou puts the player at the center of its concerns to help him develop without stress. Great values and a great philosophy await you as you learn the art of the round ball.
A club of many efforts.
"Ambitious" is how the club is portrayed. But is it true?
FC Anjou has been spreading its wings for over 40 years. Today, a great deal of effort is still being made, and there's no shortage of projects.
In addition to reaching the provincial level, André Thomas and all club members are on a mission.
"We want to become a key social player in the Anjou
d'Anjou district. We're going to develop a very strong sense of belonging, which will increase our appeal tenfold," explains the passionate technical director.
In particular, FC Anjou aims to develop its activities in partnership with local entities such as elementary school. Already in place, an extracurricular Futsal program was a real success in 2022-2023 at the Cardinal Léger school.
To complete the picture, a summer soccer day camp is currently being set up.
A great deal of effort is needed to establish the club and bring its passion for soccer to life. FC Anjou is giving itself the means to do so. Through its collaboration with the Du Sport en plus program and its parallel actions, it aims to become "an ambitious, inclusive soccer community offering a service adapted to the greatest number of people".
André Thomas, Technical Director, is passionate about his involvement with FC Anjou, and wants to give local residents what he would have liked to have had when he arrived. He also reflects on and sets out his wishes and ideas for developing Montreal's sporting appeal and welcoming newcomers with a passion for sport.
