Team Info
Forge FC is a dominant force and founding member of the Canadian Premier League, based in Hamilton, Ontario, where they play at Tim Hortons Field. The club's full name reflects the city's industrial heritage, and its orange and black colors are a familiar sight at the top of the CPL table. Founded in 2017 and owned by Bob Young, the team has been led to unparalleled success by head coach Bobby Smyrniotis. Forge's history, though brief, is already legendary, defined by an era of complete domestic dominance. They have been crowned CPL champions four times, also securing multiple regular season titles and establishing a dynasty with a distinct, possession-based style of play. This peak era has featured stars like Kyle Bekker and Tristan Borges, and memorable CONCACAF League runs that have seen them compete against clubs from across North and Central America. The modern era continues this legacy, with Forge consistently reloading its squad to remain the team to beat, blending veteran leadership with emerging Canadian talent. Their supporter group, the Barton Street Battalion, creates a loud and proud atmosphere, embodying the club's gritty, winning mentality. Simply put, Forge FC is the benchmark franchise in the Canadian Premier League, a perennial contender built on a foundation of excellence and a clear footballing philosophy.
