MLS Team History

The history of Major League Soccer (MLS) is filled with exciting moments, passionate fans, and the growth of soccer in the United States. Since its inception in 1996, the league has seen remarkable development, expanding from its original ten teams to a thriving organization that currently boasts 27 clubs. Let's take a closer look at the history of some notable MLS teams.

D.C. United, founded in 1996, holds a special place in MLS history as the league's first-ever champion. Led by head coach Bruce Arena, D.C. United dominated the early years of MLS, winning the MLS Cup in 1996, 1997, and 1999, establishing themselves as a powerhouse. With legendary players like Marco Etcheverry, Jaime Moreno, and Eddie Pope, D.C. United set the standard for success in the league's early years.

The LA Galaxy, another founding member of MLS, has become one of the league's most successful and iconic clubs. With a star-studded roster that has featured players like Landon Donovan, David Beckham, and Robbie Keane, the Galaxy has captured the hearts of fans across the country. Winning a record five MLS Cups, including back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012, the Galaxy has consistently been a force to be reckoned with in MLS.

Seattle Sounders FC, established in 2007, has quickly become one of the league's most popular and successful franchises. Known for their passionate fan base, the Sounders regularly fill CenturyLink Field with thousands of enthusiastic supporters. Since joining MLS in 2009, the team has consistently been a top contender, capturing numerous U.S. Open Cup titles and winning the MLS Cup in 2016.

Atlanta United FC, founded in 2014, made an immediate impact upon entering MLS in 2017. With record-breaking attendance numbers and an attacking style of play, Atlanta quickly became a force in the league. Coached by Tata Martino and featuring star players like Josef Martinez and Miguel Almiron, Atlanta United won the MLS Cup in just their second season, solidifying their place as one of the league's most exciting and successful teams.

These are just a few examples of the many teams that have shaped the history of MLS. From the early dominance of D.C. United to the star-studded success of the LA Galaxy, each team has contributed to the growth and popularity of soccer in the United States. With new teams continually joining the league and the sport's popularity on the rise, the future of MLS promises to be just as thrilling as its past.
