2003 VOYAGEURS CUP WILL BE CLAIMED THIS WEEKEND

TORONTO, August 29, 2003 - The 2003 Voyageurs Cup concludes this
weekend with two matches that will determine the winner of the second annual championship for Canada's top professional soccer teams.

The Montreal Impact and Toronto Lynx are the only two teams still in
contention for the trophy, and each will host the Calgary Storm this
weekend.

Montreal hold a one-point lead over Toronto in the Voyageurs Cup
standings, as well as the tiebreaker should the two teams finish even on points. Therefore, Toronto will win the trophy if they defeat Calgary and
Montreal does not, and otherwise it will stay with the defending champions in Montreal.

Toronto will host Calgary on Friday at 8 PM Eastern at Centennial Park
Stadium. This match will be broadcast live on television by Fox Sports
World Canada.

Montreal will host Calgary on Sunday at 4 PM Eastern. This match will
be simulcast live on radio and Web by Montreal's CJAD 800 AM
(www.cjad.com) in English and CKAC 730 AM (www.ckac.com) in French. It will then be broadcast on television by RDS on tape-delay at 7 PM Eastern.

The previous set of Voyageurs Cup matches featured the Vancouver
Whitecaps traveling across the country to face all three Canadian rivals. They began by eliminating Calgary from Voyageurs Cup contention with a 2-1 win on August 4, thanks to late goals by Jason Jordan and Carlo Corazzin in response to an early one by Calgary's Nicolas Zuniga.

Vancouver then needed wins in Montreal and Toronto to keep themselves
in contention for the Voyageurs Cup. However, they fell short in Montreal
on August 6 as they were only able to draw 1-1, on a late equalizer by
Nick Dasovic following an early goal by Montreal's Zé Roberto. Vancouver
concluded their trip with a 1-0 win in Toronto on August 8, the lone
goal scored by Carlo Corazzin.

Vancouver finished their Voyageurs Cup schedule with a record of 3
wins, 2 losses and 1 draw for 10 points. They are currently even with Montreal on points but are behind on the tiebreaker.

Also to be settled this weekend is the 2003 Voyageurs Cup scoring
title. Montreal's Ali Ngon leads with 5 goals, though he scored all of these
while still with Toronto earlier in the season. Montreal's Ze Roberto is not
far behind with 3 goals. 2002 co-winner Eduardo Sebrango also has 3 goals
for Montreal, but he is out for the remainder of the season with an injury.
