In the preliminary round, the\u00a0Bleu-blanc-noir\u00a0hosted Alberta Premier League champions Calgary Blizzard on May 6 and advanced to the quarterfinals with a 5-0 victory. During the match, Ivan Losenko, Daniel R\u00edos and Frankie Amaya notably scored their first goals in a Montreal uniform.<\/p>\n

Vancouver FC, the 2025 TELUS Canadian Championship finalists, defeated BC Premier League champions Langley United 2-0 on May 10 with goals from Tom Field and Nicol\u00e1s Mezquida to advance to the next round.

Vancouver FC head coach Martin Nash will reunite with his former club. The Regina native suited up for the\u00a0Bleu-blanc-noir\u00a0in the 2003 A-League season where he recorded four goals and six assists (tied for team lead in assists with Mauro Biello) in 22 appearances. During that season, the Montrealers finished first in the Northeast division with a 16-6-6 record.\u00a0<\/p>\n
