Club Info
Year Founded: 2010
Stadiums: Saputo Stadium

The Montreal Impact are one of the newer additions to the league with the club only in its fifth season in the MLS. They have had success domestically in Canada with two Canadian Championships, which have allowed them to compete in the CONCACAF Champions League. They advanced all the way to the CCL Final in 2015 but came up short against Club America.
Last year was their most successful season in the MLS as they reached the Conference Semifinal. They also reached the playoffs in 2013 when they were knocked out in the first round.
Player Info
All-Time Leading Goal Scorers: Marco Di Vaio (2012-2014) 40 Goals, Ignacio Piatti (2014-Present) 29 Goals

Arguably the most famous player to play for the club is Didier Drogba. The former Chelsea forward was signed by the club in 2015 and was an instant hit in the MLS. He’s produced 21 goals for the club so far.
Marco Di Vaio became the Impact’s all-time goal scorer as he finished his storied career in Montreal. His years of experience in European football showed their worth in the goal column, with a strong run of form with the club.
