Match Day -1 for Forge FC! Tomorrow they will kick off against Atletico Ottawa right here at THF, 7pm for the signature match night.  This is the second game of what promises to be a chaotic, jam packed August. As we near the later half of the 2024 season and approach the semi final of the Canadian Championship, Forge will look to find some momentum with games like this one.

Key Takeaways:

• Forge currently trail Ottawa by 4 points in the standings. They need this win to close the gap and distance themselves from Cavalry. 
• Ottawa have two new signings who can be dangerous in different ways: Canadian midfielder Ilias Iliadis on loan from MLS side CF Montréal & Luca Piccioli on a U SPORT contract.
• Abou Sissoko will always be a player to watch out for. Having played with him, Ale and Dav suggest he is strengths are on the ball in the midfield. 
• Ale says Atletico’s good quality, tactics, and confidence has been a recipe for their success this season.
