The Toronto Falcons were a soccer team based in Toronto, Canada. They played only two years, 1967 in the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) and 1968 in the North American Soccer League (NASL). Their home field was Varsity Stadium.
Due to a poor financial strategy, the Falcons had to fold after only two seasons. Their intercity rival, Toronto City, fared a similar fate and sadly lasted only one year.
During the 1967 season, while still in the NPSL, the Falcons drew an average of 3,792 people per game. Toronto's record for the 1967 season was a bearable 10-5-17. The following season, the NPSL merged with the NASL and the Falcons switched leagues. In the NASL, as legendary Ladislav Kubala as their coach, the Falcons played well collecting a 13-6-13 record, but money troubles caused the club to fold. Their average attendance for the 1968 season was 5,336 people per game.

Famous quotes containing the word falcons:
“Thus piteously Love closed what he begat:
The union of this ever-diverse pair!
These two were rapid falcons in a snare,
Condemned to do the flitting of the bat.”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
