The 2018 Canada Soccer National Championships (officially the Toyota National Championships for sponsorship reasons) was the 96th staging of Canada Soccer's amateur football club competition. Surrey BC Tigers Hurricanes won the Challenge Trophy after they beat Caledon SC in the Canadian Final at Umea Field in Saskatoon on 8 October 2018.
Ten teams qualified to the final week of the 2018 National Championships in Saskatoon. Each team played four group matches before the medal and ranking matches on the last day.[1]
On the road to the National Championships, Surrey BC Tigers Hurricanes beat Langley United in the 2018 BC Province Cup Final.
Teams
Ten teams were granted entry into the competition; one from each Canadian province. Teams are selected by their provincial soccer associations; most often qualifying by winning provincial leagues or cup championships such as the Ontario Cup.
The ten teams in the competition are divided into two groups of five teams each, which then play a single-game round-robin format. At the end of the group stage, each team faces the equal-ranked team from the other group to determine a final seeding for the tournament.
Final round
The final round consists of one game for each club, where they are paired with their equal-ranked opponent from the opposite group to determine a final ranking for the tournament.
