While incidental displays of artifacts have been mounted on several occasions previously, the Museum was opened formally on Saturday, May 5, 2001 at The Soccer Centre, Vaughan, Ontario. The occasion was the first of a year-long series of events to celebrate the centennial of The Ontario Soccer Association.

You are welcome to visit the Museum either on days of special soccer functions, or by appointment. There you will see a panoply of our treasures and the "Wall" of Fame which was built to honour our Inductees. School and group tours will gladly be accommodated, but only by appointment. To avoid disappointment, please provide at least 3 days notice and wait for confirmation.
