The Montreal Roses will play their inaugural season at the Bois-de-Boulogne Sports Center
Montreal, January 30, 2025 –The Montreal Roses announce that they will play their home games at the Centre sportif Bois-de-Boulogne in Laval, a venue that now embodies the very essence of the team. Already home to the Roses’ brand-new, fully renovated training center, the Bois-de-Boulogne Sports Center becomes the first stadium in Canada specifically designed to meet the needs of a professional women’s soccer team.
To accommodate fans, Tower Events—a company renowned for its work on several major North American sporting events (F1 Grand Prix, the Super Bowl, PGA events, etc.)—was commissioned to install bleachers around the center court. With a total capacity of 5,581 spectators, including a premium section, these facilities promise a unique, immersive experience, placing fans right in the heart of the action. The bleachers will remain in place for the duration of the season, from April through October. This stadium, designed primarily for the Roses’ home games, will also be able to host other events, thereby reinforcing its role at the heart of the community.
“The warm welcome and exceptional cooperation from the Bois-de-Boulogne Sports Center and the City of Laval allow us to offer our players a tailor-made environment, designed entirely with them in mind and featuring the club’s colors. Being able to play their games in a familiar setting—where they train every day—is a real advantage. It will truly be their home! Our athletes will also enjoy fully renovated locker rooms, offering all the comfort and facilities they need to perform at their best.” – Annie Larouche, club president.
“We are very proud to welcome Quebec’s very first professional women’s soccer team to Laval. Sports play a fundamental role in the well-being of our community by promoting health, pushing individuals to surpass their limits, and fostering a sense of belonging to the community. The arrival of the Montreal Roses in Laval is a source of inspiration for young women in Laval, who can now dream of following in the footsteps of these exceptional athletes. We firmly believe that this team will encourage participation in soccer while reinforcing the values of equality and perseverance, and we wish the Roses the very best of luck for their first season. ” – Stéphane Boyer, Mayor of Laval.
The Bois-de-Boulogne Sports Center, located at 955 Avenue Bois-de-Boulogne in Laval, stands out for its accessibility, as it is situated near major highways (A15, A19, A440) and the Concorde and Cartier metro stations, both less than 10 minutes from the stadium, where a shuttle service will be available on game nights. In addition to ample parking, the sports center also offers large spaces designed to host gatherings and pre-game celebrations, reinforcing its role as a meeting place for fans and the community.
