About the London Marconi Soccer Club 

Since 1962, we have been one of the longest established soccer clubs in all of Ontario with a proven track record of developing players and championship teams from youth to adult to masters to professional teams.

Over the last several years we have been very fortunate to experience a tremendous increase in teams and players wanting to join our soccer club program. 

If you are a new player, coach or team wanting to join our club, please contact us at your convenience c/o of general@londonmarconisoccer.com.  If you are existing member of the Marconi soccer family, we thank you for your past contribution and support and we look forward to working and playing with you again in future.


Milestone in 2012!!!! 

Throughout 2012 LMS has plans to commerate and celebrate its 50th anniversary in soccer through many events including an Alumni game, celebration dinner event, a family soccer picnic, recognition of former legacy stars and publication of a book chronicling the past half-century of soccer achievements.

The past 50 years has seen hundreds of youth and adult award, titles and stellar accomplishment including capturing the Ontario Cup in 1966 and 1978 and has winning London's Premier league an amazing total of 11 times. The club was also the first and only London franchise to ever capture a professional sports league championship winning the National Soccer League (NSL) title in 1985. 

Even more remarkable is the many number of coaches and players who have graduated and played professional in Europe and LMS and continue to come back and support the club in various capacities.

Stay tuned for upcoming events which will be open to all Southwestern Ontario residents who want to celebrate and share in adding another reason why London is great place to live and play!
