History

WSA Winnipeg

Crest of WSA Winnipeg (2010–2019)

The World Soccer Academy was founded in 2001 in Winnipeg as a youth soccer academy by Eduardo Badescu.

In December 2010, WSA Winnipeg created a semi-professional team to participate in the US-based Premier Development League to begin play in the 2011 season. This marked the return of high level soccer to the city of Winnipeg since the Winnipeg Fury of the original Canadian Soccer League ceased operations in 1993. The club was supported by Mondetta, a well-recognized brand in Canadian professional sports, as one of its primary sponsors. The team primarily fielded rosters built around local talent.

They played their debut match on May 28, 2011, against the Thunder Bay Chill, losing 1–0. They got their first win the next day in a rematch versus the Chill, winning 3–0. The first goal in franchise history was scored by Kenny Sacramento. In their first season, they played an exhibition match against Italian Serie A club AS Roma.

FC Manitoba

In January 2020, the team was purchased by the Garcea Group of Companies and renamed FC Manitoba, while revamping the entire development system of the club, separating from the World Soccer Academy. The team also received new colours and a new logo. The new team's debut season in 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2020, they signed former Serie A player Michele Paolucci to a contract. Due to the travel restrictions as a result of the continuing pandemic, the team opted out of the 2021 USL League Two season as well. Instead, in 2021, they participated in the 2021 Summer Series with other Canadian semi-professional and amateur clubs. FC Manitoba returned to USL2 for the 2022 and 2023 seasons. The team did return return for subsequent seasons.
