History
In 1998, the Mississauga Eagles P.S.C. were founded and became an original member of the newly formed
Attila Kovacs, and Vladimir Koval, a veteran from the Canadian National Soccer League.[4] The club debuted on May 31, 1998 in a match against the York Region Shooters, and were defeated by a score of 3-1.[5] Throughout the entire season Mississauga achieved little success within the league, and finished in a tie for seventh place with 10 points. One controversial event occurred on July 26, 1998 in a match against North York Astros, where Mississauga protested the match due to a dispute with team owner Komlodi and North York owner Bruno Ierullo about North York using a reserve team which operated in the Peel-Halton Regional Soccer League which violated Mississauga's territorial rights as the league operated within the boundaries of Mississauga's territory. The outcome of the event resulted in a forfeit for the Eagles, and a 2-0 victory for the Astros.[6]
After a disappointing last place finish, in January 1999, the Eagles decided to fold.
