It is with profound sadness that FC Northwest announces the sudden passing of Alex “Ali” Castro.  Alex played youth soccer in our District and Club for a number of years.  He was a member of the FCNW gold medal boys’ team at the Canadian Youth Nationals.  Most recently, Alex represented Manitoba at the Futsal Club Nationals.  Alex’s demeanor is one of hard work and respect for fellow teammates and the opposition.

Alex’s other passion was refereeing.  He came through the youth ranks with his start in 2009.  Alex went on to referee senior soccer and futsal.  In 2016 Alex was awarded the Most Improved Referee award by the MSRA.  Alex also added National Competition to his assignments as Asst. Referee and Referee in both Senior Women’s and Youth tournaments.

Alex gave back to FCNW in the coaching area.  He was asst. coach for the current FCNW U-17 girls’ team alongside his father German, and Kailyn Balfour.

Join us in expressing our sincere condolences to his mother Nori, father German, brother Adam, and sisters Megan and “Jazz”.

Rest In Peace, Alex
