NATION AL S O CCE R HAL L OF FAME The National Soccer Hall of Fame in Toyota Stadium is the first major sport hall of fame to be located within a stadium. The Hall of Fame officially opened to the public on November 2, 2018 after not having a home for the past seven years (it was previously located in Oneonta, NY from 1979-2010). It was officially recognized as the NSHOF by U.S. Soccer in 1983. • The NSHOF was founded in 1950 by a group of former players known as the Philadelphia Old Timers Association. In 1983, it was recognized by the U.S. Soccer Federation as the official National Soccer Hall of Fame. • Cindy Parlow, Brad Friedel, Tiffeny Milbrett, Bob Contiguglia and MLS Commissioner Don Garber, who deferred his National Hall of Fame induction from 2016, were part of the first class to be inducted to the Hall of Fame on October 20, 2018 in Frisco, Texas. • Legendary soccer broadcaster, JP Dellacamera was awarded the Colin Jose Media Award during the 2018 National Soccer Hall of Fame induction ceremony. He has called nine consecutive FIFA World Cups on television or radio, and five FIFA Women’s World Cups, including the 1999 and 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cups won by the U.S. Women’s National Team. • On Saturday, September 21, 2019, former U.S. Women’s NationalTeam forward Abby Wambach and former U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati were inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame at Toyota Stadium. Photographer Tony Quinn was awarded the Colin Jose Media Award. • The NSHOF features 400 prized artifacts which help tell the rich history of soccer in America - including the 1991, 1999, 2015 and the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup trophies. The 2019 WWC trophy will be permanently displayed next to the other trophies following the USWNT victory tour.
TOY O TA STADIUM Opened on August 6, 2005, Toyota Stadium and Toyota Soccer Center is a 145-acre multipurpose sports and entertainment facility located at the intersection of Main Street and Dallas North Tollway in Frisco, Texas. It is the home stadium for FC Dallas and hosts the FCS title game, the Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl as well a variety of concerts, tournaments and other events. The National Soccer Hall of Fame opened in Toyota Stadium’s south end in 2018 as part of a more than $55 million renovation to the facility which includes new locker rooms and two new club spaces. The combination of a world-class stadium and a sports park make Toyota Stadium one of the best and most unique soccer facilities in the world. Included in the facility is the 20,500 state-of-the-art pro soccer stadium and 17 tournament-sized fields. • The playing surface is approximately 380’ x 235’ which is just over two acres. Many of the world’s most famous structures could lay flat on Toyota Stadium’s playing field: • L ondon’s Big Ben (315’ tall) • P isa’s Leaning Tower of Pisa (186’ tall) • Paris’ Arc de Triomphe (162’ tall) • With the completion of the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Toyota Stadium, Frisco is now home to two national museums. The National Videogame Museum is also located in Frisco. • Toyota Stadium and Toyota Soccer Center has received multiple honors. It has won the Sports Turf Managers Association Professional Soccer Field of the Year and Best Sports Venue in DFW according to D Magazine. • The stadium playing field is manicured daily with reel lawn mowers to ensure the grass is consistently between ½ and ¾ inches in height – roughly the same height at Augusta National Golf Club, the official site of The Masters Golf Tournament. • When Toyota Stadium was built in 2005, Frisco’s population was 70,736, according to the United States Census Bureau. The City of Frisco estimates the current population to be roughly 196,000. By 2022, the City of Frisco forecasts the population to grow more than 234,000 residents putting Frisco on par with cities such as Bakersfield, California and Orlando, Florida.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 14, 2020 at FC Dallas | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #DALvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD
#DALvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting Kansas City begins a three-game road swing this week when the side travels south to take on FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas on Wednesday night. Sporting is riding a three-game winning streak, but that will be put to the test as the side visits Dallas, Chicago (Oct. 17) and Colorado (Oct. 21) over the next week. Sporting and Dallas have already faced off twice at Children’s Mercy Park this season, with SKC going 0-1-1 in the season series thus far. The first match took place on Sept. 5, resulting in a 1-1 draw after Khiry Shelton equalized in first-half stoppage time following Franco Jara’s early opener for the visitors. The repeat fixture on Sept. 19 was a frustrating affair, as Dallas scored either side of halftime with Jara bagging both, only for Sporting to roar back into the game and level the score with a Johnny Russell brace. However, a poor backpass allowed Dallas to retake the lead in the dying moments through Ryan Hollingshead. The game is most remembered for the time-wasting antics of Dallas, who ended the game with a mammoth five yellow cards for delaying a restart. Sporting trails in the regular season series 25-26-13, including a 10-15-5 mark on the road. #DALvSKC: Recent Meetings (DAL leads 26-25-13 in regular season) Date

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES
RUSSELL CONTINUES CMP BRILLIANCE
Sporting Kansas City is in the midst of the most congested schedule in the team’s history, with the team set to play 10 games in the 2020 regular season between Oct. 3-Nov. 8 before the MLS Cup Playoffs, with MLS Cup on Dec. 12 following a single-elimination postseason. Sporting will take their three-game winning streak into a daunting threegame road swing this coming week, starting on Wednesday night against FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium. SKC will travel to Chicago on Saturday and Colorado next Wednesday before returning to Children’s Mercy Park on Oct. 24. DATE Oct. 14 Oct. 17 Oct. 21 Oct. 24 Oct. 28 Nov. 1 Nov. 8
OPPONENT at FC Dallas at Chicago Fire at Colorado Rapids vs. Colorado Rapids at FC Cincinnati vs. Minnesota United FC at Real Salt Lake
TIME (CT) 7:30 p.m. 2:30 p.m. 8:00 p.m. 7:30 p.m. 6:30 p.m. 6:30 p.m. 5:30 p.m.
Sporting Kansas City forward Johnny Russell continued his fine form at Children’s Mercy Park, helping Sporting claim a 2-1 comeback victory over Nashville SC on Sunday night. Russell’s brilliant run and cross set up Gerso Fernandes for the equalizer early in the second half. The Scotsman’s performance earned him a spot on the bench of the MLS Team of the Week. The play was the latest feather in the cap for Russell, who had scored or assisted on six straight Sporting home goals prior to Hurtado stamping his name on the contest with a stunning game-winner in the 79th minute.

The 30-year-old Russell, who now has six goals and three assists on the season, has been particularly devastating at Children’s Mercy Park during his three-year tenure with the club. Since the start of 2018, his 33 combined regular season goals (19) and assists (14) at the stadium are 22 more than any other player, with Daniel Salloi’s 11 goal contributions the next highest.
SPORTING SCORING RECORD EXTENDED
Sporting KC remains in third place in the Western Conference after winning three games on the trot for the first time in 2020. Sporting are now 9-5-2 (29 pts.) on the season and just one point behind Seattle Sounders FC and the Portland Timbers for first place in the West. Dallas is comfortably in playoff positioning in the West, as their 5-4-6 (21 pts.) record sees them sitting in sixth place with the top eight teams all qualifying for the postseason.
Sporting Kansas City continued their historic scoring run in the 2020 MLS season when Gerso Fernandes and Erik Hurtado scored in the second half of Sunday night’s 2-1 victory over Nashville SC, ensuring that Peter Vermes’ side has scored in all 16 of their regular-season matches this year. Sporting KC is still the only team in MLS yet to be shut out and have now scored in their first 16 matches of a regular season for the first time ever. Sporting had never scored in more than 12 consecutive games to start a campaign. Sporting struck in each of the first dozen matches to open 2003, 2008 and now 2020. If Sporting scores in each of the next four matches, it would tie the club’s longest regular season scoring streak of 20 games set from August 2006 to June 2007.
Sunday’s victory over Nashville SC at Children’s Mercy Park punctuated the seventh time in club history that Sporting secured three regular season victories in nine days or fewer, with the most recent feat being performed in 2014. Sporting’s spirited fightback gave the team its second win this season when trailing at halftime. That ties the club’s regular-season high since the dawn of the Opta era in 2010, equaling the two such victories that took place in both 2015 and 2018.
Sporting will look to threaten one of the more remarkable feats in MLS history: scoring in every match of a regular season. It’s only been done once before, all the way back in 1998 when D.C. United scored in all 32 games amidst a 52-game scoring streak that spanned from August 1997 through June 1999.
DALLAS REDUX
Sporting Kansas City will look to earn a measure of revenge when the side travels south to take on FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas on Wednesday night. Sporting are 0-1-1 against Dallas this season after a pair of games at Children’s Mercy Park in September.
SPORTING ACQUIRES GAM IN TRADE WITH D.C.
On Friday afternoon, Sporting Kansas City announced today that the club has acquired $50,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) for the 2021 season from D.C. United in exchange for a 2020 international roster spot. The trade allowed D.C. United to activate Peruvian midfielder Edison Flores who had been on the club’s Injured List.
The first match, on Sept. 5, saw Dallas race out to an early lead after Franco Jara pounced on a loose pass in SKC’s defensive third before clipping a composed finish over Tim Melia. Sporting responded in first-half stoppage time as Gerso Fernandes fed Khiry Shelton in the area who struck into the corner as the game ended 1-1.
General Allocation Money can be used for a variety of purposes, including buying down a player’s Salary Budget Charge, to sign players new to MLS, to re-sign an existing MLS player, to off-set acquisition costs (loan and transfer fees) and more.
The next fixture was of a particularly frustrating nature for Sporting KC, resulting in a 3-2 victory for Dallas on Sept. 19. The visitors scored either side of halftime through Jara before Sporting mustered an impressive comeback with Johnny Russell netting a brace to set up a grandstand finish. However, it was Dallas who snatched all three points against the run of play through Ryan Hollingshead after a poor back pass. Dallas ended the game with a stunning five yellow cards for time wasting.
The international roster spot will return to Sporting KC on January 1, 2021.
COACH SPEAK: PETER VERMES
On Erik Hurtado’s goal: “That goal was a world-class goal that he scored today…It was an unbelievable finish.”
Sporting KC trails the all-time regular-season series by a narrow 25-26-13 margin, including a 10-15-5 mark on the road. Sporting’s last visit to Toyota Stadium ended in a 6-0 win for the hosts in the 2019 regular-season finale.
On Erik Hurtado and others stepping up for Sporting KC: “Whether it’s because of injury or just fatigue or just too much congestion with the schedule, it’s really been about everybody on the roster contributing. It’s an important aspect for any team. I’ve never experienced a season like this before where every single player on the roster has been used over the course of the season and in meaningful ways. For sure, I give the players a lot of credit. I also give the staff a lot of credit because they’ve done a really good job keeping the guys connected. If they’re not playing in the game, getting them ready to play and participate and put minutes in. And when they do, make them effective minutes as well. It’s a combination of those two things. It’s not one without the other.”
HURTADO SCORES GAME-WINNING WONDERGOAL
Sporting Kansas City forward Erik Hurtado made national and international headlines as his winning goal in Sunday night’s 2-1 victory over Nashville SC at Children’s Mercy Park earned plaudits far and wide. Media outlets in the UK, the Netherlands, Austria, Greece and many other countries all picked up the goal, with many describing it as the goal of the year. With Sporting looking for a way to break down 10-man Nashville, Amadou Dia floated a long ball into the path of Hurtado who struck a first-time volley into the top corner of the net in a goal that had distinctive shades of Marco van Basten’s famous goal for the Netherlands against the Soviet Union in the UEFA Euro 1988 final.
On the substitution of Erik Hurtado: “When (Khiry Shelton) got hurt, it changed things a little bit. At the end, Erik (Hurtado) came in at a good time and provided us with a real spark. He was very energetic and put them under a lot of pressure. Obviously, the goal was magnificent.”
The 29-year-old striker, who celebrated his soon-to-be-father status following the goal by tucking the ball inside his shirt, has scored three times in just 153 minutes of action this season. His clip of 1.76 goals per 90 minutes leads all MLS players who have at least two goals in 2020. The goal was nominated for MLS Goal of the Week and will surely be in contention for the league’s end-of-year awards as well.
On breaking down Nashville’s defense: “It’s very hard to play through this team in between the lines because they do a good job of protecting the middle. (The wide channels were) definitely a place of emphasis that we wanted to attack.”
Hurtado has averaged just over a goal every two games since joining Sporting ahead of the 2019 season, scoring five goals in 968 minutes after netting 12 times in 4,713 minutes for the Vancouver Whitecaps from 2013-2018 - a clip of a goal every four and a half games. 4

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 14, 2020 at FC Dallas | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | Peter Vermes
Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.
Peter Vermes is in his 12th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2020 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 187 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 152 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.
He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.
On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 434 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.
On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.
With over 10 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the fourth longest active run.
Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.
Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (USL Championship) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.
After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.
Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.
In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.
Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.
Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his third season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.
For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final. Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year
A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.

Sporting Kansas City announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season. Before his move to Sporting, the playmaker ranked fourth in the league with a team-best seven goals while also leading the side with four assists.
He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013. Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem.
Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.
On the international stage, Kinda has represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels. Kinda has yet to earn his first cap for the Israeli Men’s National Team but was selected to the senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying in fall 2019.
