They are seven-time winners of the Canadian Championship and were runners-up of the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League. The Toronto FC was birthed out of an online consultation in which the public was invited to vote on the name during a limited period. The voting options were “Toronto Northmen”, “Inter Toronto FC”, “Toronto Reds”, and “Toronto FC”. MLSE’s strategy in choosing “Toronto FC” following this process was based on two reasons. One of the premises for the selection is because over 40 percent of the online vote supported the simple Toronto FC name during the consultation. The Toronto FC had a very hard beginning but despite their long scoreless streak to start the club’s history, Toronto FC quickly began to establish itself as a club with significant fan support. The club’s first win came on May 12, 2007, at BMO Field as Danny Dichio scored the team’s first goal in the 24th minute of a 3–1 home win over the Chicago Fire.
Stadium:
The construction of a new stadium which is proposed to be the official Toronto FC’s stadium was completed at the Exhibition Place in Toronto at a cost of $62.5 million. On September 20, 2006, MLS’s official website announced that BMO Financial Group had purchased the naming rights for the new stadium. It is the largest soccer club stadium in Canada. It is owned by the City of Toronto, while MLSE, the team’s owner, operates it. Along with the rich green grass, a heating and drainage system was also installed at a cost of $3.5 million to MLSE.
