U-Sector

U-Sector is a ndependent supporters' group for Major League Soccer's Toronto FC.

History and Name

The U-Sector was founded in 2000 by football fans in the Toronto, Canada area, as a supporters group for the Toronto Lynx. Originally known as the "Toronto Ultras," the name "U-Sector" came from the group's traditional location in Section 'U' at the old Varsity Stadium. After leaving Varsity Stadium for Centennial Park Stadium, the nickname was kept as a secondary name for the group. In the 2004 off-season, due to the widespread use of the Ultras name in world football, and some of the stigma which came with it, the group adopted "U-Sector" as its oficial name.

Since the fonding of Toronto FC in 2006, the group has expanded its primary support to the MLS side. Members are mostly located in BMO Field's section 113.

Overview

The U-Sector has become well-known amongst the MLS community for the creative and unique flavour it brings to Toronto games, including many of the songs and chants that are now commonplace at BMO Field. The group helps vocally lead the entire south stand of BMO Field through its capo, who is located on a stand placed directly in front of section 113. It is currently one of two capo stands in the stadium.
