MONTREAL - As part of its Scouting and Development Centre (CIP), CF Montréal announced on Thursday the addition of its newest partner club, Club de Soccer Soulanges.

Club de Soccer Soulanges, founded in 1982, is part of the Sud-Ouest regional soccer association. It gathers 1 000 active members on a territory including nine towns.

"It's with great excitement that we welcome Soccer Soulanges as our new partner club," said Academy Director Marinos Papageorgopoulos. "CS Les Cosmos de Granby is a pioneer and active club in players development in its region, and we're excited to help them grow and start working with them in its community."

"We are very excited to join CF Montréal's CIP as a partner club," said Club de Soccer Soulanges' president Simon Lambert. "Club de Soccer Soulanges has always placed a vital importance on the development of its members, and this initiative testifies to our ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation. We have high ambitions and an unwavering determination to propel Soulanges to unparalleled heights, and this strategic partnership fits perfectly into our roadmap."

CF Montréal now has twelve CIP partner clubs: FC Laval, AS Brossard, CS St-Lazare Hudson, FC Loro, Soccer Pointe-Claire, CS Montréal Centre, CS Trident, CS Lanaudière-Nord, CS Roussillon, Revolution FC, CS Les Cosmos de Granby and Club de Soccer Soulanges.

As CF Montréal has sought to establish a more sustained collaboration plan with its partners, the Scouting and Development program was revised in 2021. This new consultative partnership formula allows participating clubs like Club de Soccer Soulanges to take full advantage of the Club's resources, both at the technical and administrative levels, including weekly on-site visits. Partner clubs also have exclusive access to CF Montréal activities and initiatives such as tournaments, camps, and technical competitions.

Launched on July 2, 2019, the Scouting and Development Centre is a high-performance development and identification program developed by the Club's Academy and its educators. The initiative includes visits with partner clubs and is part of a broader desire to share the Academy's knowledge, training, and methodologies in order to strengthen ties with the Quebec soccer community.
