The Toronto FC is a professional soccer team of Canada, located in Toronto. It was founded in 2006 as an expansion team of the MLS of United States for the 2007 season.
Its first official game was played on April 7, 2007 in the Home Depot Center of Los Angeles against Chivas USA suffering a rout of 2-0.
Danny Dichio noted the first goal of the club's history in an official game on May 12, 2007; the same day that the team achieved their first victory, against the Chicago Fire.
In spite of not being classified for the playoffs in their first year, the success of the Canadian franchise surpassed the expectations, being the only team selling all their tickets. The team also has a climate of fanaticism in their stadium never seen in the United States or Canada, something but seemed to a European or South American soccer stadium.
The team’s owner Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd (MLSE) officially announced the club’s name on May 11, 2006.
Last season 2008, in hands of the new head coach John Carver, the TFC ended the season in 7th place of the East Conference and in second place of the Canadian Championship, the same place where they finished in 2007.
