Soccer Quebec (formerly (French: Fédération Québécoise de Soccer FQS) or the Quebec Soccer Federation (QSF)) is the governing body for soccer in the Canadian province of Quebec. The QSF is one of thirteen provincial and territorial federations members of the Canadian Soccer Association. It is headquartered in Laval.
This federation was founded in 1911 and adopted its current name in 2000.
On June 10, 2013, the Canadian Soccer Association suspended the Quebec Soccer Federation over its refusal to let turban-wearing children play.[1]
In 2014, the QSF removed the ban after a ruling from FIFA that turbans are allowed for male players.[2]
