CF Montreal to share Florida stadium with Inter Miami CF to start MLS season

CF Montreal will begin the upcoming MLS season in Florida due to the ongoing pandemic border closure between Canada and the U.S.

Montreal will share a stadium with Inter Miami FC, after doing so with the New York Red Bulls last season.

“I want to thank Inter Miami CF for welcoming us. Just like in New Jersey last year with the Red Bulls, we will have access to top infrastructures and favourable weather, which made us choose Florida,” said CF Montreal sporting director Olivier Renard in a statement. “Once again, it will be a very special situation and we want our players to be in the best possible conditions before coming back to play in Montreal. We will do everything in our power to allow the players and the staff to be joined by their families so they can feel good while they are away from home.”

CF Montreal says that it will continue to work with local health officials in Canada to determine when it will be safe to return to Montreal.

Last week, Toronto FC announced it will also begin the upcoming season in Florida. The Vancouver Whitecaps have yet to say where they will begin play this season.
