Tennis Canada has announced a comprehensive modernisation plan for Stade IGA in Montréal, centred on building a new three-season stadium and redesigning the entire site to integrate more harmoniously with Jarry Park. The initiative reflects a commitment to maintaining Montréal's standing as a world-class tennis venue while upgrading facilities to meet contemporary professional circuit standards, according to Tennis Canada.
Why modernise now?
The Stade IGA is approaching the end of its functional life and no longer meets the standards required by professional tennis circuits. Major international tournaments have upgraded their facilities in recent years, making modernisation essential to preserve Montréal's ability to host a global-calibre event such as the Omnium Banque Nationale. The new stadium will be more accessible, more versatile, and better suited to supporting tennis development in the region.
What comes next?
Tennis Canada has identified the new three-season stadium and site redesign as the preferred scenario for the venue's future. The project is designed to benefit not only tournament operations but also the broader tennis community and local users of the facility.
