MONTREAL – CF Montréal Academy will travel to Florida from March 30 to April 7 to compete in the 2024 Generation adidas Cup on the IMG Academy fields in Bradenton. This international tournament, created in 2007, is one of the key moments of the MLS NEXT season reuniting all MLS academies and select international teams with their U15 and U17 squads. For its 15th anniversary, the tournament will host 49 clubs from 15 different countries.
Both teams will take part in seven games across a nine-day span. After the initial three group stage matches (March 30 – April 1), the top teams in each group and the top six runners-up will advance to the final round. The eliminated teams will play a Showcase tournament.
