The 2024 Challenge Trophy (French: Trophée Challenge 2024, part of the Toyota National Championships for sponsorship reasons) will be 100th edition of the Challenge Trophy, an annual cup competition contested by amateur teams in men's Canadian soccer. Ten teams will participate in the tournament, which will take place in Surrey, British Columbia, 9–14 October 2024.[1]

Host selection

Format and entrants

[edit]

Each of Canada Soccer's thirteen provincial and territorial associations can send one representative to the Challenge Trophy, with teams generally qualifying through a regional competition such as a league competition, open cup, playoff, or single elimination tournament.[2] Based on the number of provincial and territorial entries received, Canada Soccer's Competition Committee determines the competition format — this may include awarding host and/or additional team entries to a province or territory to ensure an even number of participants, and/or ensuring that participants play in an equal number of matches.

For the 2024 tournament, nine provincial associations and one territorial association initially confirmed their participation, for a total of ten teams. Following two withdrawals from the competition in August 2024, the final number of provincial and territorial associations participating in the competition was reduced to eight – with several revisions to the seeding and groups required.

Seeding and groups

[edit]

Provinces and territories were seeded according to the final classification of their representative teams in the previous year's championship, then assigned to two groups of five using a serpentine distribution method. Provinces and territories who did not participate in the previous year's tournament, host entries, and additional entries are then added to seeding in the order their participation in the competition was confirmed.

Within their groups, the teams will play each other once in a single round-robin over the course of five days, with teams receiving a bye day corresponding with their seed number (seeds 1–2 receive byes on day 5 of competition, seeds 3–4 on day 4, seeds 5–6 on day 3, and so on). The final round (branded as Teck Finals Day for sponsorship reasons) is held on day six of the competition, with match pairings determined by group standings.

Entrants

[edit]

Of the 10 teams qualified to play at the 2024 Challenge Trophy, only 2 participated at the previous tournament in 2023 in Halifax. Nova Scotia's representatives, Suburban FC of Bedford, will make their 3rd appearance overall in the tournament, on the heels of a 4th place finish in 2023. Meanwhile, Edmonton Scottish return as Alberta's representative for an impressive 8th time in the last 11 competitions, which also marks their 13th appearance overall.

Newfoundland's Holy Cross FC also continue their historic run of Challenge Trophy entries, attending their 11th tournament in 14 years and 22nd overall. Elsewhere, British Columbia's representative team Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC returns for its first appearance in a quarter of a century (since 1999), and host team Vancouver United Hibernian will make their debut in Challenge Trophy competition.

Overall, the field boasts 5 previous champions, including 2022 winners Ottawa Gloucester Celtic. Notably, 2023 champions West Ottawa Warriors did not enter Ontario's qualifying tournament, the Ontario Cup in 2024 – meaning they could not defend their title at this competition.

Withdrawals

[edit]
New Brunswick
[edit]

On 2 August, following the release of the preliminary schedule and groups, New Brunswick informed Canada Soccer that they would be withdrawing their entry into the competition. As a result, Yukon were elevated a position within the seeding table and placed in group A, and British Columbia were awarded an additional berth into the tournament for a host team and automatically placed in the remaining group B slot.

This also marked the second time New Brunswick had withdrawn from the tournament in three years, following their abandonment from the 2022 competition.

Prince Edward Island
[edit]

As the tournament drew closer, Prince Edward Island informed Canada Soccer on 31 August that they too would be withdrawing their entry. With a second berth already awarded to British Columbia via a host team, the Competitions Committee held a draw to determine which province would be awarded an entry for an additional team into the tournament – a process which last occurred ahead of the 2016 competition. This process resulted in Ontario being allotted an entry for an additional, unseeded team into the competition.

Following this withdrawal, the two finalists of the 2024 MilkUP Ontario Cup were informed of their qualification to the tournament. This meant that the Ontario representatives were determined on 31 August, as opposed to the date of their provincial final, which was scheduled for 8 September. These developments further triggered another change in seeding, with Yukon now elevated again by a position within the seeding table (remaining in group A). This also moved British Columbia's host team entry to group A, ultimately placing Ontario's additional team into group B.

Venue and fields

[edit]

All 25 group stage and classification matches are scheduled to take place across four artificial turf fields at Newton Athletic Park, located in the host city of Surrey, British Columbia.
