The club entered the season as the defending Canadian Championship winners.
Review and events
Kevin Payne became the club president and general manager during the off-season.[ 1] The club fired Paul Mariner as head coach and was replaced by Ryan Nelsen ,[ 2] who was at the time an active player with Queens Park Rangers F.C. in England. Kevin Payne stated, in reference to Nelson's availability, that "We're not sure when he'll join us."[ 3] Nelson terminated his QPR contract before the end of the season,[ 4] and joined TFC in February 2013.
The season opened with an away game on March 2 against Vancouver Whitecaps FC [ 5] and the following week played their only MLS match away from BMO Field, the home opener against Sporting Kansas City on March 9, 2013,[ 6] with a then-record Toronto FC home MLS attendance of 25,991. The season finished with a home win against Montreal Impact on October 26.[ 7]
