“We’re extremely proud and delighted that the most decorated team in the world has chosen our facility for its preparation,” said Montreal Impact President Joey Saputo. “It truly speaks of the quality of our installations, and we’re thrilled that it places Montreal on the forefront of the international soccer scene.”

The Impact’s new training centre, located on Létourneux St. in East end Montreal, hosted another international club last year.

Last summer, English club Chelsea FC used the Impact’s facilities as a base for its North American training camp.
