TORONTO - Intensity and energy were the buzzwords Wednesday as the Chris Armas era kicked off at Toronto FC.
The club is the first in Major League Soccer to open training camp, given a little extra time to prepare for the Canadian Championship final against Forge FC. That will decide which team faces Mexico’s Club Leon in the round-of-16 of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League on April 6-7.
Most other MLS clubs report March 1 for a seven-day quarantine period, medicals and testing prior to the start of team training March 8. The regular season is scheduled to start April 17.
