Victoria West FC

Victoria West FC is a professional association football club based in Victoria, British Columbia and presently playing in the BC Football League's Division Two.

History
Victoria West FC was founded in 1900 in Esquimalt, Victoria, playing in the Vancouver Island Football League; the club moved to its current home across the harbour from Esquimalt, Royal Athletic Park, after the opening of the stadium in 1908. The club was one of the founding members of the BC Football League in 1929, being placed into Division Two. The Orangemen, as they are known, dropped out of the League in 1934, returning for a single season in 1965. After a nine year absence they returned to Division Three in 1974, remaining almost twenty years until another relegation in 1993. The return to League competition was swift this time, achieving promotion to Division Three in 1995, but dropping out again in 1997.

The Orangemen have taken part in the BC FA Cup since 1900.

Rivalries
Victoria West's greatest rivals are Victoria United and Royal Oak Hotspur. Historically, there was also a strong rivalry with Langford Highlanders, though the two have seldom met in recent years.
