History

Club logo used in 2016

The club's foundation dates back to 1964, when they were founded as a youth club under the name Aurora Youth Soccer Club.[4]

In 2015, while playing in the amateur Ontario Soccer League, the team was invited by the Peru Olympic football team to play an exhibition match, after Peru had finished playing in the 2015 Pan American Games.[5][6] The Peruvians defeated Aurora 5–0.[7][8]

The team added its semi-professional teams in League1 Ontario in the men's and women's division in 2016 under the name Aurora United FC.[9] The men's team announced former Canadian national team and Toronto FC player Jim Brennan as the club's first head coach.[10] They played their inaugural match on April 29, 2016 on the road against Durham United FC, which ended in a 2–1 defeat.[11][12] The women's team debuted on May 7 against Vaughan Azzurri with a 1–1 draw.[13]

In 2017, the semi-professional club and youth club decided to formally adopt the same Aurora FC name and logo to better unite the two and to remove the Youth term association with the semi-professional club, while maintaining their connection to the team nickname Aurora Stingers in the new club crest.[14] At the end of the season, head coach Jim Brennan left the team to join the new top tier Canadian Premier League,[15] becoming the coach of York9 FC.[16][17] The club did not return to League1 Ontario for the 2021 season,[18] and instead became an affiliate club of new team Simcoe County Rovers,[19] transferring their League1 Ontario license to them.[20]
