The Impact and its partners are preparing a plethora of activities before the game against TFC
The Montreal Impact will play its first game at home this Saturday at 3pm, and it’s against its biggest rival, Toronto FC. There are still excellent tickets available for the game; if that’s something you might be interested in, click here.
As per usual, plan your transport: when there’s an important event at Olympic Stadium, as you already know, traffic can get heavy in the Pie-IX/Sherbrooke/Viau/Pierre-de-Coubertin square. That’s why the Impact strongly suggests coming to Olympic Stadium via public transportation on game day. The indoor corridor linking PIE-IX metro station to the stadium will be closed, and security checkpoints will be located outside, near the esplanade. Expect the same bag policy as the one at Stade Saputo.
And arrive early: on top of ensuring you won’t miss a minute, you can take advantage of the many activities offered by our partners before the game, as soon as the Olympic Stadium opens its doors at 1pm.
Activations in the corridors
Our partners are waiting for you with activities, entertainment, contests and many prizes to be won.

Special presentation at half-time
As part of the club’s 25th anniversary, the first two former Impact players inducted into the club’s Wall of Fame will be honoured on the field, at half-time.
Also, two Tony Licursi scholarships from the All the way with the Impact program will be awarded to two young students from the Commission scolaire de Montréal that have excelled in both their academics and sport.
Bleu-blanc-noir experience at Olympic Stadium
What has now become a tradition continues this year. From 10 to 11:30am, children will hit the field at Olympic Stadium for a training session with the Soccer Schools. Since 2012, over 1,250 young players got to kick the ball on the same field the pros play on, just a few hours before the MLS game. A few places are still available for the U14 and U15 age groups.
