The Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL) is a soccer men's league operating in British Columbia, Canada primarily in the Lower Mainland area.

History

The league is an amateur league, and does not compete against or promote teams to the Canadian Soccer Pyramid. The Premier Division provides the highest level of amateur play in British Columbia. This league has produced several British Columbia Soccer Association Province Cup Champions, including the last 9 consecutive champions. In 2007, the league also produced a runner-up to the Open Canada Cup in Columbus Clan FC.

The league has been home to several former USL First Division players, including Johnny Sulentic (Croatia SC), Alfredo Valente (Coquitlam Metro-Ford), David Morris (Pegasus FC), Jason Jordan (RCIU Legends), Jeff Clarke (Surrey United), Steve Kindel (Columbus Clan FC) and Ivor Evans (Richmond FC Olympics), who generally played in this league while free agents.

Due to COVID-19, the 2020-2021 season was canceled, and teams competed in their respective Cohort Cups. The 12 premier teams were split into 3 groups of 4, participating in "The William Azzi - Premier Cup." Likewise, the 12 division 1 teams participated in "The Ruben Tremarco - Div 1 Cup." The 24 division 2 teams participated in "The Bob Allen - Div 2 Cup," competing in 6 groups of 4. Despite the promising start to the Cohort Cups, the league was forced to postpone until further notice in mid-November because of the new Covid-19 guidelines put in place by the Government of British Columbia.
