Montreal Impact Academy (French: L'Academie De L'Impact De Montreal) is a Canadian professional soccer team based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 2010, they are the only Quebec based team currently playing in the Canadian Soccer League. They serve as the Academy to their parent club Montreal Impact.
History
The club was founded in 2010 by Montreal Impact after Trois-Rivières Attak decided to take a sabbatical for the 2010 season. Attak which is owned by Tony Iannitto waived his players rights and opened his territory for the benefit of the Impact Academy. Montreal repatriated all the players and coaching staff from Trois-Rivieres to form the Academy while the Attak decided to sit out the 2010 season for undisclosed reasons.[citation needed]

Stadia
The Academy currently plays its home games at Saputo Stadium, a soccer-specific stadium which opened in May 2008. As the name suggests, the stadium was funded privately (mainly by the Saputo family). Seating 20,341 supporters, Saputo Stadium is located just east of Olympic Stadium in the city's east end. Currently the seating is restricted just to the north grand stand.
