the montreal impact had one of the most vocal groups of supporters in the ussf d-2, the um02, which stands for ultras montréal 2002. the group was created in 2002, after the re-opening of the montréal impact, when a group of fans decided to bring organized and vocal support to impact games. since their start in 2002, the group had grown from a handful of friends to a group that regularly numbers in the hundreds. the largest number of people within the group was during the february 25th match against santos laguna. their slogan is "toujours fidèles" which is french for ""always faithful"". the um02 has a rivalry with the supporters of the rochester rhinos which was at that time the rochester stampede, as well as the organized support of rival toronto fc. the um02 were located in section 132 of saputo stadium, the designated supporters section before the stadium was reconfigured for mls.
