CF Montréal, formerly known as the Montreal Impact, is a proud Canadian representative in Major League Soccer, based in Montreal, Quebec. The team plays its home games at the intimate and loud Stade Saputo, with Joey Saputo as the club's influential owner. Founded in 2010, the club entered MLS in 2012 and quickly established a reputation for a resilient, physical style of play and a fantastic fan atmosphere. A key era for the club was their magical run to the CONCACAF Champions League final in 2015, led by stars like Ignacio Piatti, which captured the imagination of the city. In the modern era, the club has rebranded and adopted a more proactive, possession-based philosophy under the sporting direction of Olivier Renard, focusing on developing and acquiring young, dynamic talent. Recent seasons have seen them become consistent playoff contenders, playing an energetic and attractive brand of soccer. The supporters, particularly the Ultras Montréal, create a vibrant, European-style atmosphere at every match. CF Montréal continues to be a formidable and culturally distinct force in MLS.
