While CF Montreal may have joined MLS in 2012 as an expansion side, the club’s history dates back much further. Originally founded in 1992 Montreal moved between the USL and NASL for the first twenty years of existence. The CF Montreal has embraced and reflected the truly unique French-Canadian culture of Montreal – a dual-language city and club, embodied in the Fleur-De-Lis on the team’s crest, and a European feel on the field throughout the team’s history. CF Montrealhas fielded legends from around the world including the Ivory Coast’s Didier Drogba, Argentina’s Ignacio Piatti, Italy’s Marco Di Vaio, and the Canadian National Team Captain Patrice Bernier.

Stade Saputo (Saputo Stadium) opened in 2008 as a soccer-specific stadium just north of Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. The ground has seen CF move from division two soccer to MLS and seats over 20,000. During construction for the stadium to be renovated for MLS, the club played matches in Olympic Stadium and continues to use that second ground for large-capacity league games or international friendlies. Stade Saputo is decked out in blue seats throughout, mirroring the club’s primary club, and features rooftops providing partial coverage from the elements for about one-third of the seats.
At just over 20,000 seats and designed for soccer, you won’t find a bad seat at Stade Saputo, whether you are looking to get close to the action or sit under the terraces. However, there are plenty of premium seating options available to elevate your matchday experience. CF Montréal offers ticket packages in Corporate Suites, the President’s Club, the Tower Club, and access to Club 93. To get right next to the pitch the club has Touchline Tables and Field-Side seating.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you are ready to stand and sing for the full 90, look for seats in sections 131 and 132 to be among the Ultras Montreal fan group.
