Kitchener and District Soccer League is a competitive Canadian men's football (soccer) league. The league has been in operation as the KDSL since 1975. Historically the league has operated with a first or premier division and a second division. As of 2015 only one 9 team premier division competed for a KDSL title and there hasn't been a second (or lower division) since the 2010 season. There is also a cup tournament called the KDSL Cup. In previous decades the KDSL Cup was named after the chief sponsor of the tournament - the Molson Cup and the Da Silva Cup. Some teams also participate in the Ontario Cup with the only Ontario winner coming in 1981 when the Greek backed KW Olympics or "big blue machine" collected the honours. The league champion also has the option of joining the Ontario Soccer League (OSL). Most teams are located within or around Kitchener, Ontario as well as other nearby cities such as Stratford, Cambridge, Guelph, and other smaller towns from the area. Playoffs at the end of the season determine the champion of the league. The top 6 teams qualify for the playoffs in each division. Historically daily newspapers like the Waterloo Region Record and Cambridge Reporter had very good coverage of the league. This continued into the 1990s at which point it appears budget cuts at these daily newspapers took KDSL reporting off their pages possibly due to the common problem of the internet impact on the print media. Many feel that losing this type of print media reporting diminished public interest in the leagues. In particular many of the long-running ethnic clubs had a significant older generation supporter base that followed the league in this manner. Currently only Croatian backed Hrvat trace a continuous existence in the league to the 1970s beginnings. In particular, the loss of teams from three of the four Portuguese clubs in Kitchener and Cambridge (Leoes, Oriental, and Torreense) seemed to signal a downturn in the league if one could identify a negative trend. Newer ethnic clubs that have taken their place did not have the same staying power and the non-ethnic traditional clubs always lacked a long running and continuous existence. Though the current Guelph Rangers have had a long existence if not in the KDSL then certainly the Hamilton league.
