To kick off the new partnership, CF Montréal
will feature the iconic TELUS brand on the sleeve of its game
jersey, starting this Saturday, when conference rivals Toronto FC
make their way to Stade Saputo at 7:30 p.m. This will mark 30 years
after the very first match in the Club’s history, in Los Angeles,
on May 14, 1993.
“As we celebrate our 30th anniversary and look
to the future with optimism, we are very pleased to be able to
partner with TELUS, a global technology and Canadian
telecommunications company with strong core values," said Gabriel
Gervais, President and CEO of CF Montréal. From the first exchanges
with TELUS, we felt a natural association. Together, we want to
contribute to the development of local soccer, from grassroots to
the professional level.”
“TELUS is proud to support soccer across Canada
by teaming up with CF Montréal, a mainstay in Montreal’s sports
landscape since 1993,” said Nazim Benhadid, Senior Vice President,
TELUS. “Partnering with CF Montréal will allow us to expand our
deep-rooted commitment in the local sports community. Our
partnership will provide an opportunity for us to have an impact,
top to bottom, on the sport of soccer, from professionals to the
grassroot-level, ultimately contributing to empowering youth to
reach their full potential by improving their self-esteem,
motivation and mental health through the sport of soccer.”
In addition to TELUS in-stadium presence, fans
will have the unique opportunity to take photos in a replica of the
CF Montréal locker room, courtesy of a new TELUS photo booth in the
stadium at every CF Montréal home game. The portable structure
gives fans the opportunity to celebrate CF Montreal's 30th
anniversary while also experiencing their favourite team's locker
room.
