Biography
Formation
CF Montréal, originally founded as the Montreal Impact in December 1992, emerged from the vision of the Saputo family, who acquired a franchise in the American Professional Soccer League (APSL). The team was named "Impact" to signify its ambition to make a significant mark on soccer in Montreal and Canada, with a name that resonated in both English and French, catering to the city's bilingual culture. The Impact began their competitive journey in the 1993 season.
Early Success
The club quickly established itself as a formidable force in Canadian soccer, clinching its first championship in 1994 by defeating the Colorado Foxes. The Impact dominated the APSL and its successor leagues, winning regular season championships for three consecutive years from 1995 to 1997. Their success continued with a championship win in 2004 against the Seattle Sounders, setting a new attendance record at Centre Claude Robillard.
Transition to MLS
In 2012, the Montreal Impact transitioned to Major League Soccer (MLS), becoming the league's nineteenth franchise and the third Canadian club to join. This marked a new era for the team, which rebranded as CF Montréal in 2015. The club has since made significant strides in the MLS, including winning the Canadian Championship five times between 2008 and 2021, solidifying its status in Canadian soccer history.

Career & Clubs
Founding and pre-MLS era
Montreal Impact were founded in December 1992 when the Saputo family acquired a new franchise in the American Professional Soccer League (APSL), at the time the top flight of professional U.S. and Canadian soccer, which was set to begin competition for the 1993 season. According to club owner Joey Saputo, the franchise was branded Impact because he wanted the team to make an impact on the sport in Montréal, in Québec and in Canada at large; the word is also identical in English and French, which eased marketing in the city's bilingual environment. In 1994, the Impact defeated the Colorado Foxes 1–0 at Centre Claude Robillard in Montréal, in front of a crowd of 8,169. The victory was the first championship for a professional soccer club from the city of Montréal. The Impact were regular season champions for three consecutive seasons; from 1995 to 1996 in the APSL (rebranded as the A-League), and in 1997 as part of the post-merger USISL A-League. In 2004, the Impact won the A-League championship by defeating the Seattle Sounders 2–0 at Centre Claude Robillard in Montréal, in front of a crowd of 13,648—a new attendance record for the club at the time. The A-League was renamed the USL First Division in November 2004. The Impact started the 2005 season with a 15-game undefeated streak and finished 10 points clear of second place to win the Commissioner's Cup. They were knocked out in the playoffs semi-finals by the Seattle Sounders. That same…
