Supra du Quebec: The Canadian Club Forging a Unique Identity Inspired by Athletic Bilbao’s Local Pride
Supra du Quebec is set to debut in the Canadian Premier League, adopting a unique philosophy inspired by Athletic Bilbao: fielding only players and staff with strong ties to the French-speaking province.
Co-founder Rocco Placentino aims to cultivate local talent, providing opportunities for Quebecois players who might otherwise be overlooked, while embracing the province’s rich multicultural identity.
The club’s motto, “Un club d’ici, pour ici” (“A club from here, for here”), encapsulates their commitment to celebrating and developing homegrown footballing talent.
