Montreal Impact announce Olympic Stadium sold out for CCL final

Montreal Impact have announced that they have sold out the Olympic Stadium for next weekend's CONCACAF Champions League final second leg.

The Canadian club take on Mexico's Club America at home in the return bout on Wednesday, April 29 and will play in front of a packed house of almost 60,000.

"It is, in my opinion, the best crowd we've ever drawn because these are 59,000 in a few days of sale, which we had never achieved," Legendre told reporters.

"When we drew crowds of 50,000 and more, it was always over several months. This is really exciting."

The Impact meet America in the first leg at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on Wednesday night with an expected crowd of over 100,000.
