Toronto FC has handed four supporters a permanent ban in the wake of ugly scenes in the stands at Tuesday’s Canadian Championship loss to CF Montreal.
All four have been “immediately and permanently banned” from all MLSE facilities and cannot apply for reinstatement in the future.
It marks the first time the Major League Soccer club has resorted to permanent bans. In the past, offenders have been able to apply for reinstatement after a year.
TFC said more people could face sanctions, given the investigation is ongoing and preliminary findings showed “multiple fans” had violated the stadium’s code of conduct.
