The 2020 Forge FC season was the second season in the history of Forge FC. Forge were the defending league champions, having defeated Cavalry FC in the 2019 Canadian Premier League Finals. In addition to the domestic league, the club competed in the CONCACAF League, advancing to the quarter-finals for the first time.

On September 19, Forge defeated HFX Wanderers FC 2–0 in the 2020 Canadian Premier League Final to win their second consecutive league title. As champions, they qualified for the 2020 Canadian Championship Final and the 2021 CONCACAF League.

Review

On January 22, Forge FC announced they had transferred reigning CPL golden boot winner and player of the year Tristan Borges to Belgian First Division B side Oud-Heverlee Leuven for a fee reported to be close to $300,000.[1][2] Before the start of the new season, the club supplemented their roster with several new signings including K.R.C. Genk academy product Paolo Sabak, former Montreal Impact and Canada men's national soccer team fullback Maxim Tissot, and former Toronto FC attacker Molham Babouli.[3][4][5]

Canadian Premier League: The Island Games

The Canadian Premier League originally announced its schedule on February 21. The season would have begun on April 11 and concluded on October 4 with a balanced, 28-match schedule.[6] In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CPL paused all pre-season training on March 13 before later postponing the start of the season on March 20.[7][8]

On July 29, the CPL announced a revised, shortened season format to be played exclusively at the University of Prince Edward Island from August 13 to September 19 in a bio-secure bubble. Dubbed The Island Games, the season would begin with a round-robin preliminary round. The top four teams would qualify for a round-robin group stage; the top two teams from the group stage would qualify for a single match final.[9][10]

Forge opened the their season on August 13 with a 2–2 draw against rival club Cavalry FC in the opening match of The Island Games.[11] Over the following weeks, Forge completed the CPL's preliminary round, ending with 2–2 draw against Valour FC to qualify for the second round group stage with a record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss.[12][13]

In the group stage, Forge opened with a 1–1 against HFX Wanderers FC before defeating Pacific FC 2–0 to put them on the verge of qualifying for the final.[14][15] Needing just a draw in their final group stage match,[16] Forge defeated Cavalry FC 1–0 to qualify for their second consecutive CPL final.[17][18]

Forge faced HFX Wanderers FC in the 2020 Canadian Premier League final. This was the third match between the two clubs at The Island Games with both previous matches ending in 1–1 draws.[19] Forge won the final 2–0 to repeat as CPL champions and qualify the club for the 2021 CONCACAF League and the 2020 Canadian Championship Final.[20]

Kits

Forge FC unveiled its 2020 primary kit on February 27 at an event hosted at Tim Hortons Field.[31] The kit was inspired by Hamilton's six regional municipalities and featured a gold patch signifying Forge's status as defending champions.[32]

The CPL unveiled all of its clubs' alternate kits on July 30.[33] These "City Edition" kits incorporated unique symbolism for each club, with Forge's kit drawing from the image of Hamilton's Gore Park fountain.[33][34] Like the home kit, the alternate kit featured a gold champion patch.[34]

The kits continued to be produced by Macron and sponsored by Tim Hortons for a second consecutive season.[31][34]
