2019 FC Edmonton season
The 2019 FC Edmonton season was the eighth season in the club's history, as well as the first season in Canadian Premier League history.
Overview
After finishing in seventh place in the 2017 NASL season, FC Edmonton discontinued professional operations, but kept their academy. Co-owner Tom Fath stated that the franchise had proved to be unsustainable in the Edmonton market, and the decision was reinforced by the uncertainty surrounding the status of the NASL. Despite these events, there was speculation that the still under construction Canadian Premier League was looking at Edmonton as a potential market. That speculation proved to be correct on June 8, 2018, when it was announced that Edmonton had come out of hiatus and officially joined the new league. A new logo was revealed, and it was announced that the team would continue to play at Clarke Stadium.On July 3, 2018, Jeff Paulus was named head coach. He had formerly been an assistant coach for the first team and technical director of the academy. On November 28, FC Edmonton announced their first two signings as members of the CPL, academy graduate Allan Zebie, who played for the team in 2017, and former Vancouver Whitecap Randy Edwini-Bonsu, who played minor soccer in Edmonton as a child. The Eddies signed more academy graduates, including Bruno Zebie, Ajeej Sarkaria and Ajay Khabra. On December 13, South Korean midfielder Son Yong-chan was signed, Edmonton's first international signing as a Canadian Premier League club.
