Forge FC goalkeeper Jassem Koleilat, defender Daniel Nimick, defender Marko Jevremovic and attacker Mo Babouli were all named to the Canadian Premier League’s Gatorade Team of the Week for Week 1 of the 2025 CPL season.

All players made key contributions during the club’s home opener against Cavalry FC on April 5, where they would go on to win 1-0.

Jassem Koleilat (Goalkeeper)  

Koleilat was outstanding in preserving Forge’s victory, and a clean sheet, in their season-opening 1-0 win over Cavalry on Saturday. He made six saves, including a stunning stop on a header from 2024 CPL Golden Boot winner Tobias Warschewski.

Dan Nimick (Defender) 

Nimick played a key role in Forge’s 1-0 victory over Cavalry FC on Saturday with several important defensive interventions. He finished with five of eight duels won, including three of five in the air, and two interceptions. Making his CPL debut for the club, Dan has left a lot of fans with high expectations for the rest of the season.

Marko Jevremović (Defender)

Jevremović’s ability to get forward down the left flank was critical to Forge’s attack on Saturday. He set up Mo Babouli’s winner with a lovely cross, one of seven he played during the match with three chances created. Defensively, he won nine of 13 duels.

Mo Babouli (Attacker)

Babouli marked his CPL return to Hamilton Stadium with a lovely headed goal which stood as the winner against rivals Cavalry FC. Lively throughout the match, he attempted four dribbles and 15 passes in the final third.
