TITLE HOLDERS VAUGHAN AZZURRI START THE NEW SEASON AGAINST NORTH TORONTO NITROS, AND BLUE DEVILS HOST GUELPH UNITED 
IN A REPEAT OF THE 2021 FINAL.

Vaughan Azzurri players lift trophies

The 2023 League1 Ontario Men’s Premier Division season kicks off on Thursday, April 13 with 20 teams in action across 
the opening weekend of games.

Vaughan Azzurri will begin their title defence hosting North Toronto Nitros. This fixture last year was part of a doubleheader 
at York Lions Stadium with the Canadian Premier League, and was narrowly won by the Azzurri.

Back-to-back title runners-up Blue Devils will be hoping it’s third time lucky this season. Their campaign opens with a repeat 
of the 2021 final, against Guelph United, whom they defeated 2-0 in the regular season last May.

ProStars finished last season with 10 wins in 11 games to storm into the playoffs, and they will be aiming for similar form 
to start 2023. They conclude the opening weekend against 2019 champions Master’s FA at Ontario Soccer Stadium.

Pickering teams have been removed from the men’s and women’s Premier Division schedules for 2023 and the L1O board of directors 
will announce the plans for these two licenses in due course.
