Montréal, January 14, 2025 • The Montréal Roses continue their mission to repatriate local talent and proudly announce the arrival of an exceptional new player: Mégane Sauvé, a strong, inspiring winger who will join the team for the Northern Super League’s inaugural season. This signing was made possible thanks to the support of FASKEN, founding partner of the club and key supporter of our vision for woman’s soccer in Montréal.
At 26, Mégane is returning home after having made her mark in the Campeonato Nacional Feminino, the Portuguese women’s top-level soccer league. She crossed the ocean in 2023 to join the ranks of the Valadares Gaia FC and, until just recently, was playing with Lisbon’s Sporting Clube de Portugal, with whom she won the Supercup.
“Mégane Sauvé is a versatile player who can play both defence and attack, which adds great tactical flexibility to our team. Her technical mastery, vision of the game, and ability to remain calm in decisive moments make her a complete player.
With the experience she acquired in Lisbon and her remarkable performances, particularly with the Clube de Portugal, she represents a real added value for the Roses. We are thrilled to welcome her and look forward to seeing her share her energy and talent with the team.”
Marinette Pichon, Sporting Director, Montréal Roses.
“I am extremely proud to return and be close to my friends and family and have the privilege and honour of representing my city and Quebec in the professional world. My goal is clear: to win championships for Montrealers, with the support of Montrealers.”
Mégane Sauvé, new Montréal Roses player.

From Saint-Hyacinthe, Mégane discovered soccer after being encouraged by her parents to explore various sports to discover her passion then following in her brother’s footsteps. From her very first steps on the pitch, she was hooked. Her impressive career includes three Canadian championships, two at the university level with the Université de Montréal Carabins and one at the club level with the AS Blainville, as well as a participation in the prestigious European Champions League with the Sporting CP.
Off the pitch, Mégane stands out for her community involvement. She has mentored young players, motivating them to aim high, and actively supports Montréal’s LGBTQ2S+ community by fundraising for local organizations. Exuding positive energy, she relaxes the dressing room atmosphere before games by sharing her dancing and exuberance with her teammates.
Joining the Montréal Roses represents a homecoming of sorts for Mégane, since she is once again close to friends and family. She also has the opportunity to proudly represent her roots in a professional environment. With the addition of Mégane to its roster, The Montréal Roses is continuing to build an ambitious team that is ready to make history and inspire future generations.
