History

Internacional de Toronto was announced as one of the founding members of the newly formed League1 Ontario on April 8, 2014.[1][2] Former Peru national team player Nolberto Solano was named as the team's head coach on May 1, 2014.[3][4]

Internacional played its first match against Windsor Stars during the league's opening weekend on May 31, 2014 at The Soccer Centre in Vaughan, Ontario, a 2–2 draw.[5][6][7] The club would follow its inaugural match with a 2–0 loss to Durham United FC on June 8, 2014.[8]

On July 22, 2014, the club had its licensing agreement terminated[9] due to issues regarding the payment of player salaries.[10] The club had played seven league matches at the time of their termination, earning one draw to go with six losses.[10]
