Toronto FC is one of the premier soccer teams in Canada. After several failed attempts to establish a permanent soccer club in the city, Toronto FC was founded in 2007 as a member of MLS. Since they first made the postseason in 2015, Toronto has won the
MLS Cup
in 2017 with a victory over the Seattle Sounders and finished as runner-up twice more in 2016 and 2019. In international competition, the club finished as the runner-up of the 2018
Concacaf Champions League
against CD Guadalajara. It has also won the
Canadian Championship
, the top honors in Canadian soccer, several times between 2009 and 2012 and again between 2016 and 2018. Sebastian Giovinco, who played for the club between 2015 and 2018, is Toronto’s all-time leading scorer with 68 goals and 52 assists, earning him the MLS MVP honors in 2015.
