Evergreen FC co-captain Riley Yesno says her team, composed of female, LGBTQ+ and gender diverse members, has been playing in the women's division of Stadium Sport Leagues since 2022 .

Last month , the league sent Yesno ’s team an email saying any non-binary players who are not registered as “female” would only be permitted to play on a co-ed team.

The league said it had to enforce its “gender inclusive policy” because it received complaints from some players who said they didn’t “feel safe” playing against EverGreen FC .

Evergreen FC player Val Bonifaz said the team plays primarily for fun and has “historically never won” games.

The team hasn’t yet decided whether to continue playing beyond the current season .

In Alberta , a bill set to become law will ban transgender athletes from competing in female amateur sports and require schools to report eligibility complaints.
