Forge FC’s two U-Sports Draft selections Mouhamed Ndiaye and Amadou Kone have been invited to participate in preseason camp with the opportunity to sign either to a U SPORTS Developmental Contract.

Forge FC has club options on some remaining players from the 2023 roster and has until December 31, to trigger those options for 2024. The club is currently in several negotiations regarding both contract extensions and new additions with updates to follow accordingly.
