Dynamo de Québec is a Canadian soccer team based in Québec City. The team represents the Capitale-Nationale region in the PLSQ, which its men's side joined in 2017, and its women's side the year after. The team is affiliated to the Association Régionale de Soccer de Québec, and has its roots as the association's elite player-development program..^[1]

Club History

Dynamo was founded in 1991 as an elite player-development program for young women in the Quebec City area, and the first u-14 teams began play that year in the Ligue Soccer Elite de Quebec. Between 1991 and 2007, 19 Dynamo teams were Quebec champions and participated in the Canadian Championships, with four teams being crowned Canadian Champions.^[1]

In 2014, the women's Dynamo de Quebec succeeded Amiral SC. The team played in the United States-based W-League until the league disbanded in 2015. The club tried to join the United Women's Soccer but was unsuccessful and was thus rendered inactive in 2016.

In 2017, the Dynamo created two new men's teams: the first, a professional team to play in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec and the second, a reserve team, to play in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec reserve league.^[2]

In preparation to their debut in PLSQ, the team started with 1-0 win over the Mistral de Sherbrooke^[3]. Confident from this first preseason win, the team went on to face AS Blainville (2nd in the standings in 2016) and tied them 1-1. ^[4]. The first game in the Dynamo's PLSQ history is on Sunday May 14, 2017 at home at Stade Honco in Charny. The visitors, Mont-Royal Outremont, proved to be a strong adversary and the Dynamo lost their first game in PLSQ. ^[5]

For 2018, the PLSQ would start a new women's division, and Dynamo re-formed their women's side to participate, and headlined the squad with Canada WNT player and Quebec native Gabrielle Carle.^[6] The club would leave Charny for a number of different home venues around the Capitale-Nationale region, but the majority of their home games for both the men's and new women's sides would be played in the town of L'Ancienne-Lorette at the field of the local polyvalente (high school).^[7] On the men's side, star goalkeeper Mario Gerges departed the team during the preseason for TSS FC Rovers of the Premier Development League^[8], but overall the squad saw the return of many important players from the previous season, and looked to improve on a surprise 2nd place finish.
