The team also stated it will keep trying to identify people involved and will permanently bar from club events anyone who participated in antisemitic chants, or discriminatory behaviour of any kind.

“CF Montréal has engaged with local Jewish community organizations and welcomes their continued input as the club continues to strengthen its anti-discrimination initiatives through expanded in-stadium education and awareness efforts, engaging directly with supporters, and enhancing security measures,” the club said.

“Hate speech does not impact just one player or one individual. Its harm extends to teammates, supporters, families, employees and the broader community. We all share a responsibility to stand against hate and to foster an environment where every person feels safe and respected. The club is committed to ensuring Stade Saputo is a place where players, supporters, employees, and guests of every background feel welcomed.”

CF Montreal also apologized to the Revolution, which issued a statement Aug. 3 condemning the antisemitism directed at Turgeman by CF Montreal supporters.
