The TPAAA proudly hosts 4 soccer teams for the Toronto Police Service. These teams
include 2 Women’s teams and 2 Men’s teams.
Leagues – all 4 teams play in competitive leagues during the summer and the winter
seasons.
Tournaments – all 4 teams usually attend the North American Police Soccer
Tournament (NAPST). This is a tournament that consists of police teams from Canada
and the US. This is an annual tournament that is competitive and a great way to meet
officers from other services.
One men’s team and one women’s team usually attend the World Police and Fire
Games (WPGG). This is a biannual tournament that includes services from all over the
world. It is the second biggest athletic games in the world only after the summer
olympics.
Past Achievements – TPS soccer teams have won the NAPST tournament on several
occasions as well as silver medals at the WPFG.
Women’s Soccer:
There are two TPAAA funded women’s teams, Toronto Inferno who play in the west
(Toronto) and Toronto Tornados who play in the East (Pickering). Both teams participate
in annual police tournaments.

Los Angeles World Police & Fire Games – September 2017
Four of the ladies are from outside services. We had 4 wins and 1 tie going into the Gold Medal match against Mexico. Sadly we lost 1-0 in overtime, but it was a great game and we came so close. We are proud of our Silver medals.
With any luck the Mexico team will be stripped of their GOLD since they are under investigation for having National players that are not police officers on their team.
Here is a list of the TPS members that attended.
• Leigh Simpson
• Victoria Adams
• Stephanie Schuhmann
• Ashley Taylor
• Zita Nunes (I believe her name on the internal email is Maria)
• Silvia Fernandez
• Christine Hardie
• Niquita Amirkhanian
• Nathalie Urbas
