FC Supra du Québec is a Canadian professional soccer club that will compete in the Canadian Premier League, the top tier of the Canadian soccer league system, beginning in 2026. The club is based in Laval, Quebec and will play their home matches at Stade Boréale.

History

Since 2021, there had been interest in forming an expansion franchise in the Canadian Premier League in the province of Quebec.[1] In 2025, the Canadian Premier League began hosting events in the province of Quebec, beginning with a league match between York United FC and HFX Wanderers FC, hosted in Quebec City on May 31, 2025.[2] In addition, they held a CPL U19 Showcase match that day.[3]

On September 24, 2025, the Canadian Premier League officially announced that an expansion club would be awarded, based in Laval, Quebec and would begin play in the 2026 season as the league's ninth club.[4][5] The ownership group includes Matt Rizzetta and Angelo Pasto, who both hold ownership shares in Italian clubs Campobasso and SSD Res Roma, American club Brooklyn FC, and Italian basketball team Napoli Basket, as well as Stephane Tetrault, owner of GameStop Canada, and Jean-Francois Chenail.[6] Former Canada national team player Rocco Placentino would serve as the club's inaugural President.[7] The club would begin play out of Stade Boréale, sharing the ground with women's Northern Super League club Montreal Roses FC.[8] The club's name, logo, and colours were selected to pay homage to former club Montreal Supra, who played in the original Canadian Soccer League from 1988 to 1992.[9][10] The club chose to use the province's name of Quebec, rather than a city name, as they aim to have a roster made entirely of Québécois players, similar to the roster construction of Spanish club Athletic Bilbao, who use players exclusively from the Basque Country.[11][12]

On October 30, 2025, FC Supra announced that Nick Razzaghi and Mateo Cabanettes, who had both worked with club president Placentino at Ligue1 Québec side CS Saint-Laurent, would serve as the club's first head coach and sporting director, respectively.[13][14] On November 28, FC Supra took part in their first CPL–U Sports Draft, selecting Călin Calaidjoglu and Alexandre Marcoux with the first two overall picks.[15][16] On December 10, the club officially announced Québécois players David Choinière, Loïc Kwemi and Sean Rea as their inaugural signings.[17][18]
