CF Montreal is a Canadian professional soccer club based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The club competes in Major League Soccer (MLS) in the Eastern Conference. Founded in 1992 as the Montreal Impact (French: Impact de Montreal), the team began play in the MLS in 2012 as an expansion team, the league's nineteenth franchise and third Canadian club.
The Impact was the first ever Canadian club, and the second MLS club in history, to advance to the final of the CONCACAF Champions League in 2015 losing to Club America.
The club rebranded as Club de Foot Montreal in 2021 with a new club crest and colours, however, amidst continued discontent and pressure from supporters and local media, the club introduced a revised logo for the 2023 season, with the club being known simply as CF Montreal.
CF Montreal and its predecessor clubs have won the Voyageurs Cup, the domestic trophy for professional club soccer in Canada, a total of 11 times, four of which are within the format of the Canadian Championship, the national championship for professional clubs in Canada formed in 2008. The club competes in the Leagues Cup, the North American zonal competition for CONCACAF, and is eligible for the cross-border Campeones Cup, but does not take part in the U.S. Open Cup.
The club plays its home matches at Stade Saputo and Hernan Losada is the current head coach for the club.<\/P>","2EBB7B469EDB7E39":"Laurent Courtois","622EB7B4B85B2C76":"","4406E48704A97D69D6728A5D009266729A239ADB920A5D02":"1","C403D9D9F071ACF5":"4827","E0A04148ADEEA21E":"http:\/\/en.cfmontreal.com\/","7E5D3E774B9EC62B":"Montreal","63D5A09C1F729528628C60E02F0396E1":"
