The 2024 Forge FC season is the sixth season in the history of Forge FC and the club's sixth season 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. The club is managed by Bobby Smyrniotis in his sixth season as head coach.

In addition to the CPL, Forge is competing in the Canadian Championship where it defeated MLS opposition for the first time by prevailing against CF Montréal over two legs in the quarter-final, advancing the club to the semi-final for the second consecutive year. Forge began its season in February with continental play when it faced C.D. Guadalajara in round one of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Review

Background

See also: 2023 Forge FC season.

Forge FC entered 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, continuing their dynasty. They are also competing in the Canadian Championship,[3] a domestic cup organized by the Canadian Soccer Association.[4] In the 2023 edition, Forge reached the semi-final where they were knocked out by Major League Soccer (MLS) club CF Montréal for the third consecutive year.[5]

Forge qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup on October21, 2023,[6] [7] returning the club to international competition after a one-year absence.[8] Their last appearance was in the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, where they faced Mexican side Cruz Azul in the round of16.[9]

Head coach and sporting director Bobby Smyrniotis returned for his sixth season after signing a contract extension in 2023.[10] [11]

Preseason

On December22, 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 December31.[12] 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.[13] The club later announced that it had picked up the contract options of midfielder Sebastian Castello, defender Malcolm Duncan, and goalkeeper Christopher Kalongo.[14] [15]

On January29, Forge re-signed Swedish midfielder and club original Alexander Achinioti-Jonsson to a multi-year deal.[16] 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 Nana Ampomah, both to multi-year deals.[17] [18] They also signed several players to short-term and development contracts for the CONCACAF Champions Cup.[19] [20]

Striker Woobens Pacius announced on December17 that he was departing Forge, with the club confirming that he was out of contract;[21] [22] he later signed with MLS side Nashville SC.[23] On January17, full-back Rezart Rama left the club, signing with KF Egnatia in the Albanian top flight.[24] Midfielder Aboubacar Sissoko left Forge to join fellow Ontario side Atlético Ottawa.[25]

CONCACAF Champions Cup

Forge began its season in CONCACAF Champions Cup action against Liga MX giants C.D. Guadalajara. The Hammers hosted Chivas on February7 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.[26]

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.[27]

Forge was notably without Golden Glove winning goalkeeper Triston Henry for both matches; according to the club, he was away dealing with a personal matter.[28] [29] Christopher Kalongo started in his absence. Forge was also without Elimane Cissé and Nana Ampomah as they awaited their international transfer permits.

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.[30] [31] The club also signed goalkeeper Jassem Koleilat to a multi-year deal.[32]

April

Forge opened its CPL campaign at home with a rematch of the 2023 CPL final against rival side Cavalry FC on April13.[33] Henry, Cissé, and Ampomah continued to be unavailable for the Hammers, while defender Garven Metusala missed the match due to injury. 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.[34] This was Forge's first ever opening day win in its history.[35]

The club followed-up their opening day win with victories away at 905 derby rival York United FC and back at home against Valour FC.[36] [37] After three matches, Tristan Borges had scored two goals and picked up three assists for five goal contributions, more than any CPLer had ever earned in the league's first three matchweeks.[38] For his efforts, Borges was named the CPL's player of the month while Christopher Kalongo and Bobby Smyrniotis earned goalkeeper and manager of the month honours, respectively.[39] [40] [41]

May

Forge's 2024 Canadian Championship run began on May1 with a rematch against York United FC, this time at Tim Hortons Field.[42] Jordan Hamilton scored a brace as part of a three goal first half en route to a convincing 3–1 win, advancing Forge to the quarter-finals.[43] This set up a Canadian Championship rematch against CF Montréal for a fourth year in a row.[44] Forge hosted the first leg on May7 in the club's "School Day Match" before an announced crowd of 14,923 fans, the club's second most attended home match.[45] David Choinière scored in the 31st minute to give Forge a 1–0 first half lead before Montréal responded in the second half to secure a 1–1 draw, leaving the teams tied on aggregate before the return leg later in the month.

Returning to CPL play, Forge FC traveled out west to face Pacific FC, battling them to a scoreless draw.[46] Jassem Koleilat made his first appearance for the Hammers, keeping a clean sheet. The Hammers next returned home where they faced Vancouver FC, losing 2–1 for their first ever home defeat against the Eagles.[47]

Forge next traveled to Montreal for the second leg of its Canadian Championship quarter-final match. Tied 1–1 on aggregate and needing to score to overcome an away goals deficit,[48] Forge jumped out to a 2–0 first half lead thanks to goals from Daniel Parra and Kwasi Poku.[49] Following a two hour halftime delay due to lightning, Montréal came out and dominated the second half. However, they only managed to score one goal against the Hammers, resulting in a "historic" 2–1 Forge win and advancing them to the semi-finals 3–2 on aggregate. This was the first time the club had defeated an MLS opponent.[50] Following the win, Forge travelled to Ottawa where, tired from their Canadian Championship match, they fell 3–0 to Atlético Ottawa.[51] It was the club's first ever defeat in Ottawa.[52]
