I've seen Forge FC, Canada Soccer, and CONCACAF each give different and sometimes conflicting full names for the club:

Forge Football Club
- Canada Soccer national club licence Canada Soccer
- Referee appointments Canada Soccer
Forge FC Hamilton
- "Forge FC Hamilton announced Tuesday the club has signed captain Kyle Bekker to a new contract." Forge FC
- Club wordmark Forge FC
- Canadian Championship draw details Canada Soccer
- "Forge FC Hamilton advanced to the Quarter-Finals of the Canadian Championship..." Canada Soccer
Hamilton Forge FC
- CONCACAF League draw CONCACAF
- CONCACAF match details (e.g., "FC Motagua (HON) vs Hamilton Forge FC (CAN)") CONCACAF

These are just some examples from these sources; other sources in the media use these names in different combinations as well.

I've added these three names to the article lede (MOS:ALTNAME). My sense is that "Forge Football Club" should continue to be listed as the "Full Name" be in the article's infobox because that's the name on the club's license. I am wordsmyth (talk) 16:52, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
