MONTREAL – As part of its Scouting and Development Centre (CIP), CF Montréal announced on Monday the addition of its newest partner club, CS Trident.
CF Montréal therefore welcomes its first amateur club from the Quebec City region. CS Trident was created in 2021 following the merger of Mistral Laurentien, Olympique CSRA and Caravelles de Sainte-Foy/Sillery.
“It with great enthusiasm that we welcome CS Trident as our newest partner club,” said CF Montréal Academy Director Marinos Papageorgopoulos. “For the first time, we are leaving the greater Montreal area to develop the Quebec City region. CS Trident is a newly formed club but well established. We are excited to help them grow and begin our collaboration in this region.”
“CS Trident is delighted to have signed a partnership agreement with CF Montréal, an iconic soccer club in the province of Quebec. This collaboration opens up new prospects for our club, particularly in terms of educator training, sporting opportunities and outreach. Through this agreement, we also wish to demonstrate our commitment to the development of soccer in our community,” said CS Trident President Pierre-Daniel Beaudry.
CF Montréal now counts seven partner clubs within its Scouting and Development Centre: FC Laval, AS Brossard, CS St-Lazare Hudson, FC Loro, Soccer Pointe-Claire, CS Montréal Centre and CS Trident.
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 CS Trident to take full advantage of the Club’s resources, both at the technical and administrative levels. 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.
