Forge continued their winning ways with a 2–1 home win over Cavalry.

The next day, Forge faced the Wanderers in Halifax in a match where a win or a draw would clinch the Hammers a playoff berth,[3] however, they suffered a 3–0 loss.[4] The loss left Forge with only two wins in their 11 league games away from home to date.[4]

On September 21, Forge traveled to Vancouver to face the Eagles with another chance to clinch the playoffs win a win or a draw.[5] This time they succeeded, defeating Vancouver FC 3–1, clinching Forge's place in the CPL playoffs for the sixth year in a row.[6]

October

edit

Forge traveled to Winnipeg with a chance to clinch the regular season title with a win against Valour on October 6.[7] Forge had struggled to win away at Valour, securing only one victory in its seven most recent visits to Winnipeg.[7] Noah Jensen scored in the 36th minute off of a cutback from Kyle Bekker in what proved to be the match's only goal, securing a trophy-clinching 1–0 road win.[8] It was Forge's 100th win as a club.[9] By winning the regular season, the Hammers won the CPL Shield, the top seed in the CPL playoffs, a berth in the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup, and prize money.[10][11]

The Hammers returned to Hamilton to face Atlético Ottawa in a match that didn't matter in the standings for Forge, but would be followed by a trophy ceremony.[12] Forge surrendered two first half goals and Alessandro Hojabrpour was sent off on the way to a 2–0 loss, putting a damper on the celebrations.[13] Daniel Parra received a caution during the match after he appeared to punch Atlético's Sam Salter; as of October 21, 2024, his status is "pending a Canada Soccer Disciplinary Panel review" for a potential fine or suspension.[14] Following the match, Forge was awarded the CPL Shield before the club's supporters.[15]

Forge completed its CPL regular season campaign away at Pacific on October 19. In a rain-soaked match, Forge fell 1–0 to end the season with a loss.[16] It was the second year in a row Forge ended its season with consecutive defeats.[17] U-21 Canadians Khadim Kane and Amadou Koné started the match to help Forge surpass the CPL-mandated 2,000 minimum minutes to be played by U-21 Canadian players.[18] By playing the match's full 90 minutes, Alexander Achinioti-Jönsson became the third outfield player in CPL history to have played every minute of a regular season.[19]

History

edit

[31]

Hamilton was linked to a professional soccer team as early as June 2013, when reports first emerged of a professional soccer league launching in Canada.[32] Hamilton Tiger-Cats owner Bob Young was part of a group of investors, predominantly from the Canadian Football League, working with the Canadian Soccer Association and president Victor Montagliani.[32]

In February 2016, the ownership group sought permission from Hamilton City Council to erect a dome over the Tim Hortons Field playing surface to allow for year-long activity, including soccer. When the Canadian Premier League was officially announced, it was revealed that Hamilton's club would be the flagship franchise.[33]

On May 6, 2017, Hamilton was one of two cities accepted by the Canadian Soccer Association for professional club membership when the Canadian Premier League was unanimously approved.[34]

Forge FC was officially unveiled as the league's sixth team on July 12, 2018. The club revealed its crest, colours and branding, as well as its place in the league for the 2019 launch season.[35] The name was chosen to represent city's industrial heritage and forging ahead building its future.[36]

2019 Review

edit

[178] [179] [180]

Preseason

edit

Forge announced Sigma FC co-founder and head coach Bobby Smyrniotis as its first head coach and technical director on October 1, 2018.[37] The team then went about building its roster, starting with the signings of Kyle Bekker and Chris Nanco November 29 as part of a Canadian Premier League (CPL) event where every team unveiled its initial player signings.[38] Forge announced many additional signings in the leadup to the season, with many players having had ties to Smyrniotis at Sigma.[39][40] On April 24, Forge announced that Kyle Bekker would be the club's first captain.[41] Entering the season, Forge were considered to be a favourite to be CPL champions.[42][43]

Season

edit

Forge played its first ever competitive game on April 27, 2019, in the Canadian Premier League's inaugural match against York9 FC.[44][45][46] ADD MATCH RESULT.[47][48] After losing their next match 2–1 away at HFX Wanderers FC, Forge won its first ever competitive game and earned its first clean sheet on May 8 at home against Pacific FC with a 3–0 win. Over the CPL's ten-match spring season, Forge earned a 6–1–3 record to finish second behind Cavalry FC. As one of the CPL's "inaugural teams", Forge competed against FC Edmonton and Valour FC during the spring season for the CPL's spot in the 2019 CONCACAF League.[49] The Hammers qualifed for the spot on June 15 after defeating Valour FC 2–1.[50]

In Canadian Championship play, Forge opened play against Cavalry FC in the second round. Cavalry prevailed 3–2 on aggregate over the two-legged tie, knocking Forge out of the competition.[51] The tie was marked by controversy when a scrum broke out between both teams at the end of the first match. Cavalry players accused Forge assistant coach Peter Reynders of using racist remarks during the scrum,[52] leading to a Canadian Soccer Association investigation.REF After initially being given a suspension, Reynders successfully appealed the charge.[53] This incident is considered to have started a rivalry between the two clubs.[54]

Forge played its first international match August 1 at home against Guatemalan side Antigua GFC. Forge prevailed 2–1 on aggregate in the two-leg preliminary round series to advance to the round of 16.[55] There, Forge FC was eliminated 4–2 on aggregate by Honduran club C.D. Olimpia.[56][57]

After losing their first match of the fall season, Forge went on a 14-match unbeaten run in league play. Forge was able to clinch the finals berth after a 3–0 victory over Pacific FC on September 28, 2019.[58] Despite not clinching the fall title, Cavalry and Forge's dominance ensured that no other team could catch them in either the fall or overall standings. Forge would go on to finish second in the fall season by one point, winning the Finals berth not as the fall title winner but the second-placed overall finisher.[59]

Forge FC won the league championship in their inaugural season after defeating Cavalry FC 2–0 on aggregate in the 2019 CPL Finals.[60] Golden Boot winner Tristan Borges scored the opening goal during the first leg on October 26 in Hamilton. David Choinière scored the final goal late in stoppage time during the second leg, held on November 2 in Calgary. (Eighth and ninth matches between the two teams this season).

Aftermath

edit

This championship season marked the start of Forge's dynasty, being the first of four CPL championships in five years.

Forge qualified for the 2020 CONCACAF League where they reached the quarter-finals, a new best result for a CPL team.[61]

This year, the club advanced to the semi-finals for the first time, coming from behind in the quarter-finals to defeat Santos de Guápiles F.C. 4–3 on aggregate to qualify for the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League.[63] Domestically, Forge finished first in the CPL and qualified for the CPL Final, but were defeated 1–0 by Pacific FC, ending the club's quest for a third consecutive title.[64]

2022 Review

edit

On February 16, 2022, Forge FC became the first Canadian Premier League team to participate in the CONCACAF Champions League, hosting Cruz Azul in a 1–0 loss,[65][66] and eliminated by them in the first round, 4–1 on aggregate.[67] REWRITE.

On October 30, Forge FC defeated Atlético Ottawa 2–0 in the 2022 Canadian Premier League Final to claim their third CPL title.[68] During the season, captain Kyle Bekker and four other players recorded their 100th matches with the club;[69] each player was presented with a commemorative Forge jersey with the kit number 100 at a home match.[70]

2022 Club

edit

On January 2, 2022, Forge FC reorganized its ownership under the newly announced Hamilton Sports Group, an entity that also owns the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the master licence for Tim Hortons Field. Bob Young continues to serve as chairman and the largest shareholder while also welcoming new investment from Hamilton-based steel company Stelco (represented by its chairman and CEO Alan Kestenbaum), club CEO Scott Mitchell, and Woodbine Entertainment CEO Jim Lawson.[71]
