Saputo Stadium is Montreal’s dedicated soccer venue, standing in the shadow of the Olympic Stadium’s iconic inclined tower. Originally built in 2007 for the Montreal Impact’s NASL days, the stadium opened in May 2008 with a capacity of just over 13,000. But when the club secured its spot in Major League Soccer in 2010, expansion became inevitable. A $23 million investment from the Quebec government brought capacity to nearly 20,000, adding corporate suites, a partial roof, and upgraded seating—transforming it into a true MLS-caliber venue.
Designed with a natural grass pitch that quickly became a favourite among players, Saputo Stadium remains CF Montréal’s home turf and headquarters. While its history isn’t as extensive as its neighbour, the stadium has seen its fair share of memorable moments, including a dominant 4-1 victory against the Seattle Sounders in its post-renovation debut. Compact but purpose-built, it’s an essential piece of the city’s soccer culture.
