MONTREAL – CF Montréal announced on Thursday the addition of its newest partner club, Revolution FC, as part of its Scouting and Development Centre (CIP).
Revolution FC was created in 2019 reuniting more than 3,500 players in the Laurentides region.
CF Montréal now has ten CIP partner clubs: FC Laval, AS Brossard, CS St-Lazare Hudson, FC Loro, Soccer Pointe-Claire, CS Montréal Centre, CS Trident, CS Lanaudière-Nord, CS Roussillon and Revolution FC.
“It's with great excitement that we welcome Revolution FC as our new partner club," said Academy Director Marinos Papageorgopoulos. "Revolution FC wants to be a leader in player development in its region. We're excited to help them grow and start working with them in their community."
"We are very excited and privileged by this partnership with CF Montréal. This is an unprecedented opportunity for our players and technical staff," said Revolution FC General Manager Moustapha Sall. "This synergy between our two clubs brings unparalleled prestige to our organization, reinforcing our commitment to excellence and the development of our players. Every young person has a place, and it is precisely this conviction that guides our approach, making our slogan a tangible reality in this exciting collaboration. We look forward to seeing the fruits of this collaboration."
As CF Montréal has sought to establish a more sustained collaboration plan with its partners, the Scouting and Development program was revised in 2021. This new consultative partnership formula allows participating clubs like Revolution FC to take full advantage of the Club’s resources, both at the technical and administrative levels, including weekly on-site visits. Partner clubs also have exclusive access to CF Montréal activities and initiatives such as tournaments, camps, and technical competitions.
Launched on July 2, 2019, the Scouting and Development Centre is a high-performance development and identification program developed by the Club’s Academy and its educators. The initiative includes visits with partner clubs and is part of a broader desire to share the Academy's knowledge, training, and methodologies in order to strengthen ties with the Quebec soccer community.
