Montréal Carsteel FC

Montréal Carsteel FC (later known as Cancar FC) was a Canadian soccer club based in Montréal, Québec. They were one-time Dominion of Canada Football Championships winners, lifting the Challenge Trophy in 1948. They were recognized by the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame as an Organisation of Distinction.

Over the course of their soccer history, Carsteel FC played in several leagues and competitions and were at times either a professional or amateur club. They were renamed Cancar FC in 1949 and they played their last major season in 1953. The soccer team was owned (and named after) the Canadian Car and Foundry.

Wrote Winnipeg sports journalist Vince Leah in 1943, "you can name the famous Canadian soccer teams on one hand... Westminster Royals, Toronto Ulster, Montréal Carsteel and United Weston."
