CS Fabrose is a Canadian semi-professional soccer club based in Laval, Quebec that plays in the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec. The club is set to merge with youth clubs CS Chomedey and Delta Laval to form CS Laval-Ouest, beginning in 2021.[1]
History
The club was originally formed in 1971 following a merger of a few area clubs and adopted their current name, CS Fabrose, in 1974.[2]
In 2018, the club joined the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division III league, fielding a team in the men's division.[3] They played their first match on May 5 against CS Mont-Royal Outremont.[3] They finished in seventh place out of eight teams in their inaugural season, but improved to 4th place in the 2019 season with Felipe Costa de Souza leading the league in goals scored with 13.[4] However, despite only finishing fourth in the league, the club won the PLSQ League Cup, earning their first title, defeating CS Mont-Royal Outremont 2–0 in the final.[5][6]
In 2019, they added a team in the women's division of the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec.[7] While the 2020 season was initially interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club was one of the teams that committed to fielding teams in both the male and female divisions for the shortened season,[8] with the players agreeing to play without compensation.[9] The women's team finished in second place after losing in the finals to AS Blainville in penalty kicks.[10]
