WEDNESDAY'S VOYAGEURS CUP GAME PIVOTAL

TORONTO, July 15, 2003 - Toronto travel to Montreal for their last
meetingof the season on Wednesday, one which may be pivotal in determining this year's Voyageurs Cup winner.

Montreal stand first and unbeaten in the Voyageurs Cup table with nine
points after playing all of their away games. Toronto's sole loss to
Montreal followed by two wins in the west at the beginning of this
month putthem on six points.

A Montreal win on Wednesday would almost eliminate both Calgary and
Vancouver, and would put them in the driver's seat for a second
straight Voyageurs Cup title. Toronto, meanwhile, badly need the win to stay in contention for their first title.

Toronto's Canada Day weekend games earned them their six points, first
with a come-from-behind 2-1 victory at Vancouver and then with a strong 2-0 outing at Calgary.

Three of Toronto's four goals came from Canadian international Ali
Ngon, vaulting him to the top of the Voyageurs Cup goal scorers list.
However, Eduardo Sebrango and Z Roberto of Montreal both stand on two goals; the next game could also be key in determining this year's top scorer. Nikola Vignjevic scored Toronto's other goal, while Vancouver's was a penalty kick converted by Oliver Heald.

Wednesday's match kicks off at 7:30 PM Eastern at Claude Robillard
Sports Complex, and will be simulcast on radio and Web by Montreal's CJAD 800 AM (www.cjad.com) in English and CKAC 730 AM (www.ckac.com) in French.

The Voyageurs Cup resumes a little over a week later when Calgary visit
Vancouver on Thursday, July 24. Both teams remain pointless in the
tournament standings, and are hoping for a draw between Montreal and
Toronto on Wednesday to improve their chances of catching up to the leaders. A win for either team on the 24th could put them back into the race. Kickoff is at 7 PM Pacific at Swangard Stadium.

The Voyageurs Cup will return at the beginning of August when Vancouver
playtheir three away games over five days.

ABOUT THE VOYAGEURS CUP

The Voyageurs, Canada's national soccer fan club, inaugurated the
Voyageurs Cup, Canada's only national, fan-awarded soccer trophy, in 2002. The Voyageurs Cup trophy will be awarded to the most successful Canadian A-League team, based on matches with other Canadian A-League teams.

The Voyageurs will present the Voyageurs Cup trophy to that team at a
home game late in the season. The Cup will remain in possession of the
winning team for display until the beginning of the following A-League season. The entire cost of the Voyageurs Cup, including purchasing, maintaining, engraving, shipping, and promoting the trophy and tournament, has been borne entirely by private donations from individual Voyageurs.

The inaugural Voyageurs Cup in 2002 was won by the Montreal Impact.
