Forge FC’s 2025 Season: Continuing Their Dynasty in Canadian Soccer
A Season of Records and Achievements
The 2025 season marks Forge FC’s seventh campaign in the Canadian Premier League (CPL), with the club entering as the defending CPL Shield winners after finishing first in 2024.
The Hamilton-based club has been setting new records this season, maintaining an impressive 20-match undefeated streak in league play, part of a broader 24-match unbeaten run across all domestic competitions – both standing as CPL records.
Multiple Competition Success
Beyond their league success, Forge FC has advanced to the Canadian Championship semifinal for the third consecutive year. The club has also participated in the CONCACAF Champions Cup first round, where they faced Liga MX side Monterrey.
The team’s success can be attributed to their strong core players and strategic new signings, including players who bring new tactical advantages such as Nimick’s exceptional passing range from defense, Rezart Rama’s strategic runs from right-back, and Mo Babouli’s technical prowess in free-kicks.
Home Dominance and Recent Developments
Forge FC’s dominance has been particularly evident at home, where they set single-season club records in 2024 with 11 wins and 34 points – securing 10 more points at home than any other club in the league.
In their most recent match, Forge FC maintained their grip on first place in the Canadian Premier League standings with a 1-0 victory over Halifax Wanderers, with Molham Babouli scoring the decisive goal in the 81st minute.
Looking Ahead
The club has already qualified for the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup, the region’s premier club championship. This presents another opportunity for Forge FC to achieve a milestone victory in the competition, which holds special significance for the club as it provides a platform to prove themselves within the regional football landscape.
As they look ahead, the team’s continued success in 2025 appears closely tied to Brian Wright maintaining his Players’ Player of the Year form from 2024, while they remain committed to maintaining their impressive home record as a cornerstone of their season objectives.
