Club de Foot Montreal News Release


MONTREAL - Starting Saturday, CF Montreal's U15, U16, and U19 men's teams kick off their 2025-2026 season in MLS NEXT, the sixth in the Club's Academy history.

The regular season will include nearly 25 games from September to May. Seventeen will be played at Centre Nutrilait and open to the public free of charge. All three teams will play their season opener in Montreal this Saturday against the Rochester NY FC private academy (starting at 9:00 a.m.).

The Academy will also participate in major MLS NEXT tournaments including MLS NEXT Fest (U16 and U19), the Generation adidas Cup (U15 and U16) and MLS NEXT Flex (U15, U16 and U19) with the aim to qualify for the MLS NEXT Cup playoffs at the end of the season.

Last season, the U16 team clinched a playoff spot. The U15 team also finished first in its Northeast regional division during the regular season.

"The quality of play of our teams was recognized at the MLS NEXT level last season," said Academy Director Marinos Papageorgopoulos. "Our U15 and U16 teams finished fourth and ninth respectively in their categories among 138 teams. This rewards the hard work of the staff and highlights the development of our players, who are sought after by the national team and courted by American universities. "

Of the 72 players registered this season, 18 were selected this year for the Canadian national team in the U15, U16, U17, and U18 categories.
