The 2024 Forge FC season is the sixth in club history and its sixth in the Canadian Premier League (CPL), the top flight in Canadian soccer. Forge is the defending CPL champions, having defeated Cavalry FC in the 2023 final for their fourth championship.

In addition to the Canadian Premier League, Forge will compete in the Canadian Championship. The club began its season in February, competing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Review

Background

See also: 2023 Forge FC season

Forge FC enter the season as the reigning Canadian Premier League champions after winning the 2023 Canadian Premier League final against Cavalry FC.[1][2] This was the club's fourth CPL title and fifth finals appearance in five years,[1] continuing their dynasty.[3] They will also compete in the Canadian Championship,[4] a domestic cup organized by the Canadian Soccer Association.[5] In the 2023 edition, Forge reached the semi-final where they were knocked out by Major League Soccer club CF Montréal for the third consecutive year.[6]

Forge qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup on October 21, 2023,[7][8] returning the club to international competition after a one-year absence.[9] Their last appearance was in the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, where they faced Mexican side Cruz Azul in the round of 16.[10]

Head coach and sporting director Bobby Smyrniotis returned for his sixth season after signing a contract extension in 2023.[11][12]

Preseason

On December 22, 2023, Forge announced that fifteen players from the previous season would be returning with guaranteed contracts while other players could possibly return pending negotiations for new contracts or the club activating contract extensions before December 31.[13] This changed a week later when defender Manjrekar James, who was originally listed to return, was sold to Costa Rican side Alajuelense for an undisclosed fee.[14] The club later announced that it had picked up the contract options of midfielder Sebastian Castello, defender Malcolm Duncan, and goalkeeper Christopher Kalongo.[15][16]

On January 29, Forge re-signed Swedish midfielder and club original Alexander Achinioti-Jonsson to a multi-year deal.[17] Over the following days, the club announced the return of versatile Senegalese midfielder Elimane Cissé, who was a member of Forge's 2019 and 2020 championship teams, and signed Ghanaian international forward Opoku Ampomah, both to multi-year deals.[18][19] They also signed several players to short-term and development contracts for the CONCACAF Champions Cup.[20][21]

Striker Woobens Pacius announced on December 17 that he was departing Forge, with the club confirming that he was out of contract;[22][23] he later signed with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Nashville SC.[24] On January 17, full-back Rezart Rama left the club, signing with KF Egnatia in the Albanian top flight.[16][25] Midfielder Aboubacar Sissoko left Forge to join fellow Ontario side Atlético Ottawa.[26]

CONCACAF Champions Cup

Forge began its season in CONCACAF Champions Cup action against Liga MX giants C.D. Guadalajara. The Hammers hosted Chivas on February 7 at Tim Hortons Field where they fell 3–1. Chivas were led by United States international Cade Cowell who scored two goals and assisted on a third. Terran Campbell scored the lone goal for Forge off of a cross by Tristan Borges.[28]

Facing an uphill battle in the second leg at the Estadio Akron, Forge lost 2–1 to Chivas to be defeated 5–2 on aggregate, knocking them out of the Champions Cup. Kevaughn Tavernier scored Forge's lone goal in the 93rd minute.[29]

Forge was notably without Golden Glove winning goalkeeper Triston Henry for both matches as he was away from the team dealing with a personal matter.[30][31] Christopher Kalongo started in his absence.[27][28][29] Forge was also without Elimane Cissé and Opoku Ampomah as they awaited their international transfer permits.[31]

Canadian Premier League season

Prior to the start of the 2024 Canadian Premier League season, Forge brought in defender Daniel Parra on loan from Monterrey and midfielder Matteo Schiavoni on loan from CF Montréal.[32][33] The club also signed goalkeeper Jassem Koleilat to a multi-year deal.[34]

Forge opened its CPL campaign at home with a rematch of the 2023 CPL final against rival side Cavalry FC.[35] Henry, Cissé, and Ampomah continued to be unavailable for the Hammers, while Haitian international Garven Metusala missed the match due to an injury suffered with the national team.[35] After falling behind 1–0, Forge came back on the strength of a goal and an assist from Tristan Borges and a 76th minute winning goal from Béni Badibanga to defeat Cavalry 2–1.[36] This was Forge's first ever opening day win in its history.[37]
