Pacific Football Club takes professional sports on the Island to a whole new level.

Widely regarded as one of Canada’s leading soccer executives, Beirne was one of the visionaries behind the Canadian Premier League and has worked tirelessly to make the dream of a Canadian domestic league a reality.

As Managing Director of PFC, Paul oversees both the business and the sporting sides of the club, with a focus on driving the "purpose-driven" mandate of focussing on the equitable physical and mental health of young people on the Island.  In addition to the professional team, Pacific FC also oversees the Island's elite development program - VI Wave - and the largest indoor field at the Island Training Centre.

Previously Beirne was the President and one of the founders of the Canadian Premier League, Canada's top domestic pro soccer league.  Beirne was formerly the Vice-President of Business Operations for Toronto FC. In 2007, Major League Soccer honoured Beirne as the prestigious MLS Executive of the Year in recognition of his innovative work on TFC’s ground-breaking launch as the league’s first Canadian franchise. In addition to his work with TFC, Beirne held senior executive roles with the Toronto Raptors, Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators, and oversaw the commercial business for the Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club in its aggressive pursuit of promotion to the English Premier League.
