The Canadian Premier League will be extending its reach to Quebec by 2026. FC Supra has been confirmed as the league’s ninth team following an announcement by the CPL on Wednesday. The new franchise will call Stade Boreale in Laval, Quebec its home ground, sharing the venue with the Montreal Roses FC of the Northern Super League. Additionally, the stadium will serve as the training and administrative base for FC Supra.
FC Supra, the first Quebec-based club in the CPL, is backed by a consortium comprising Matt Rizzetta, Angelo Pasto, Stephane Tetrault, and Jean-Francois Chenail. The team unveiled its unique identity at a special event held at Complex Multi-Sports de Laval on Wednesday evening. The logo, shaped like a diamond, showcases red and blue hues on either side with a white S running through the center.
There are discussions within the soccer community about the addition of FC Supra as the third professional soccer team in the Montreal area, alongside CF Montreal and the Montreal Roses. Despite initial concerns about potential competition for support and resources, many enthusiasts are enthusiastic about the prospect of having another team in the Canadian Premier League.
