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 league is officially considered to be one-tier below the Pacific Coast Soccer League, although because the PCSL is registered as an American league and both provide comparable play, the VMSL is often seen as providing the same level of competition.

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 play in this league while free agents.

This league has produced several British Columbia Soccer Association Province Cup Champions, including seven of the last ten champions. In 2007, the league also produced a runner-up to the Open Canada Cup in Columbus Clan FC.
