Seattle Sounders FC

The name dates back to 1974 and the Sounders of the old NASL, but the current club was born on 13 November 2007, when Seattle was awarded its MLS franchise. The debut, on 19 March 2009, was a 3-0 win over the New York Red Bulls in front of more than 30,000 people, and the city never lost the habit: for years the Sounders led the league in attendance, with the March to the Match parading fans to the stadium.

Rave Green became a signature and the trophy cabinet kept filling: US Open Cups in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2014, the 2014 Supporters’ Shield, MLS Cups in 2016 and 2019, the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League and the 2025 Leagues Cup, won 3-0 against Messi’s Inter Miami.
