The 2023 PACWEST soccer championship tournament is set to begin on Saturday October 28th on the campus of Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. Three teams will qualify for the tournament with the semi-finals set for Saturday. Then Sunday the gold medal matches will take place with the winning team punching their ticket to the National Championship.
All games are free for the public and seating is non-reservable bleacher seating and is not covered, so please dress for the elements.

The winner of the women's bracket will represent the PACWEST at the CCAA national finals. They will make the long journey east to Holland College in PEI beginning November 8th. The last national gold a PACWEST women’s team won was in 2008 when the Langara Falcons claimed the crown.
On the men's side they will travel to Ontario and play at St. Clair College in Windsor for the national championship. The Saints have a beautiful new turf facility at Acumen Stadium which will hold up against any elements Mother Nature throws at it. The last national gold for a PACWEST men’s team was in 2017 when the Mariners hosted and won the national title.
