It was founded in 1997 by the Ontario Soccer Association and was originally located in Vaughan, Ontario. As of 2023, the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame has inducted 142 players, 13 managers/coaches, 10 officials, and 43 builders as honoured members.

After the Canadian Soccer Association Alumni Association was founded in 1987, the Soccer Hall of Fame was founded by the Ontario Soccer Association in 1997 in Vaughan. The new Canada Soccer Hall of Fame was launched in May 2017 under the direction of the Canadian Soccer Association in Ottawa, Ontario. All previously-inducted members of The Soccer Hall of Fame as well as a catch-up class of 17 legends were named to the new Canada Soccer Hall of Fame.
