Sporting KC Game Notes | May 9, 2021 vs. Austin FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvATX: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvATX: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend to take on 2021 MLS expansion side Austin FC for the first time in club history at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. CT. It’ll be a homecoming for several members of the Austin organization, as head coach Josh Wolff, assistant coach Davy Arnaud and defender Matt Besler all spent lengthy periods playing for the Kansas City Wizards/Sporting KC. Sporting KC has historically performed well in inaugural matchups against expansion sides in MLS, going 10-3-5 in their first-ever matches with new teams.

Against the lone expansion team Sporting faced in 2020, Nashville SC, Sporting KC earned a 2-1 come-from-behind victory at Children’s Mercy Park on Oct. 11, 2020.

Walker Zimmerman gave the visitors the lead before Gerso Fernandes equalized shortly after halftime. Sporting snatched all three points when Erik Hurtado scored a goal of the season contender with a flying volley in the 79th minute.

Sporting KC is 19-7-9 overall against teams that are in the midst of their expansion campaign. The club is also 13-3-1 in their first-ever home games against an expansion franchise, only suffering defeats to the Houston Dynamo (2006), Seattle Sounders FC (2009) and the Montreal Impact (2012).

Austin FC is opening the season with an eight-game road swing before the brand new Q2 Stadium opens on June 19. Sporting will be the opponent in two of those eight games at Children’s Mercy Park, both this Sunday and on Saturday, June 12 in a match that was rescheduled this week from July 17 due to Children’s Mercy Park’s involvement in the Concacaf Gold Cup this summer.

Through three games, Austin is 2-1-0 after falling to LAFC in their inaugural game before defeating the Colorado Rapids and Minnesota United FC to secure their first-ever MLS points.

Sporting KC Team Notes • Sporting hasn’t lost their inaugural home game against an MLS expansion club since falling to Montreal in 2012, posting a 5-0-1 record in such matches since 2016.

• Sporting’s loss at RSL last weekend snapped an eight-game regular season unbeaten run and a five-game regular season road unbeaten run dating back to 2020, both of which were the longest in MLS. • Sporting have scored in 23 of their last 24 regular season matches since the start of 2020, including all 10 at home.

• Sporting ranks last in MLS with 4.3 chances created per game.

• Sporting matches have averaged 18.3 combined fouls per game this season, the fewest of any team in MLS.

#SKCvATX: Recent Meetings (No prior MLS meetings)

Austin FC Team Notes • Austin enter Week 4 as the only team in MLS with multiple road wins this season (2-1-0 away record).

• Austin will play their first eight regular season matches on the road before opening the Q2 Stadium by hosting the San Jose Earthquakes on June 19.

• Austin are one of six MLS clubs to have two players with at least two goals this season (RBNY, NYC, RSL, SJ and SEA).

• Austin have faced 18.7 shots per match, the second-most in MLS. • Austin rank last in MLS with 9.0 fouls committed per match.

Date

Score

Sporting KC Player Notes • Among players with at least 700 regular season minutes played, forward Alan Pulido ranks second in MLS since the start of 2020 with 0.973 goals and primary assists per game.

• Forward Khiry Shelton owns a 25-9-9 regular season record as a Sporting starter. He places third among MLS forwards with 23 duels won this season.

• Sporting are 7-1-0 in the regular season when Alan Pulido, Khiry Shelton and Johnny Russell start together in attack.

• With this week’s signing of 18-year-old defender Kayden Pierre, Sporting leads MLS with 12 Academy products on its current roster.

Result Details

Sunday’s match is the first-ever meeting between Sporting Kansas City and Austin FC.

#SKCvATX: PLAYER HISTORY • No player on Sporting Kansas City’s current roster has faced 2021 expansion side Austin FC in the past.

Austin FC Player Notes • Forward Cecilio Dominguez and midfielder Diego Fagundez have accounted for all four Austin goals, scoring twice each.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 9, 2021 vs. Austin FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes BOUNCING BACK AT HOME

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

KAVEH RAD MAKES MLS DEBUT

Sporting Kansas City are set to enjoy home-field advantage once again this weekend as the team returns to Children’s Mercy Park to take on expansion side Austin FC on Sunday night. Sporting has gone 1-1-1 (4 pts.) on the young season, while Austin has impressed all by going 2-1-0 (6 pts.) to begin their eight-game road swing before Q2 Stadium opens in June. Since the start of 2020, Sporting are 5-3-2 at home.

While the result was one to forget, it was still a memorable day for Sporting KC Homegrown center back Kaveh Rad when the side played to a 3-1 defeat against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium last Saturday afternoon. Rad was named in the starting XI, marking his MLS debut after signing with the first team in early April.

Rad, 19, provided a solid performance at the heart of the Sporting KC backline. He recorded eight interceptions - the second most of the 22 players on the field - and made 10 ball recoveries, also second most on the field. Rad also completed 36 of 42 pass attempts to record a passing accuracy of 85.71 percent.

Sporting KC has beaten the New York Red Bulls (April 17), drew with Orlando City SC (April 23) and lost to Real Salt Lake (May 1) to open the 2021 season. Austin fell to Los Angeles FC in their inaugural match (April 17) before earning back-to-back wins over the Colorado Rapids (April 24) and Minnesota United FC (May 1).

Rad and his twin brother Jahon - who is under contract with Sporting KC II - moved from Durham, North Carolina, to Kansas City to join the Sporting KC Academy in 2016. He signed an Academy contract with Sporting KC II in 2019 before signing a professional contract with SKC II in 2020, making a combined 36 appearances across the two seasons before impressing the Sporting KC first team coaching staff during the 2021 preseason in Arizona.

Sunday’s game serves as a Sporting reunion for Austin FC head coach Josh Wolff, assistant Davy Arnaud and defender Matt Besler. The three have combined to make 784 competitive appearances (678 in regular season) in a Kansas City shirt.

Coincidentally, recently recovered Sporting defender Graham Zusi is one shy of his 295th regular season appearance for Sporting, which would move him past Matt Besler and into sole possession of first place in club history - which could happen on Sunday night with Besler as the opposition.

SPORTING KC SIGNS RECORD-SETTING HOMEGROWN

On Tuesday afternoon, Sporting Kansas City announced the signing of Homegrown fullback Kayden Pierre, becoming the 18th player to sign for the first team after emerging from the Sporting KC Academy. With the acquisition of Pierre, Sporting leads Major League Soccer with 12 academy products on its current roster.

EXPANSION FOES

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend for a first-ever matchup with 2021 MLS expansion team Austin FC on Sunday evening. It’s Sporting KC’s first clash with an expansion side since earning a 2-1 victory over Nashville SC on October 11, 2020 and will mean that Inter Miami CF are the only MLS team that Sporting has yet to face since joining the league.

Born in Rochester Hills and raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Pierre joined the Sporting KC Academy in 2018 from Vardar SC in his native state. He went on to represent Sporting at the U-15, U-17 and U-19 levels, making upwards of 60 academy appearances and guiding the U-17s to the Development Academy Playoffs in 2019.

Last season, Sporting KC earned a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Nashville SC at Children’s Mercy Park in mid-October. Walker Zimmerman headed the visitors in front in the first half, only for Gerso Fernandes to turn home Johnny Russell’s cutback early in the second period to equalize. The game was won by a stunning strike from Erik Hurtado, who struck a first-time volley into the top corner after being found by a crossfield switch from Amadou Dia.

Capable of playing as a left back and a right back, Pierre gained his first professional experience last fall when he signed an academy contract with Sporting Kansas City II. He started two of three USL Championship appearances under head coach Paulo Nagamura, including a 90-minute outing in a dramatic 2-1 road victory over Indy Eleven on Sept. 30. He most recently started for Sporting Kansas City II in their 2021 season opener on Saturday, playing the full 90 minutes at right back in a 2-0 loss to FC Tulsa.

Sporting KC has historically performed well in inaugural matchups against expansion sides in MLS, going 10-3-5 in their first-ever matches with new teams. Sporting KC is also 19-7-9 overall against teams that are in the midst of their expansion campaign.

Sunday’s match is the first of three matches against Austin in 2021, as the Texas side will return to Children’s Mercy Park on June 12 before Sporting heads to brand new Q2 Stadium in Austin on November 3.

On the international stage, Pierre has competed for the United States U-14 and U-16 national teams over the last five years. He participated in multiple U-14 training camps from 2016-2017 before jumping to the U-16s for training camps from 2018-2019.

POSTGAME PV

Thoughts on Sporting’s performance in the 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake: “I think we got tired. I think we were very, very sloppy with the ball, and I think that caused so many problems for us. I’d be interested to see how many times we strung eight passes together. We lost the ball regularly. You do that and you’re more than likely going to lose.”

PULIDO BACK AMONGST THE GOALS

Sporting KC striker Alan Pulido made his first start of the 2021 campaign and promptly opened his account for the new season during last Saturday’s 3-1 setback against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Pulido had appeared off the bench in Sporting’s opening two games while working back from a knee injury sustained in preseason.

On what went wrong for Sporting in the second half: “The temperature was a little bit warmer but it wasn’t terrible. I thought it was a good day to play the game. It wasn’t the dog days of summer, that’s for sure. When you lose the ball—when you’re a team that wants to have the ball and you don’t have the ball—and when you play like we did today, you’re going to struggle. And we did. (RSL) were better.

We started out well and they were having a hard time breaking us down. Again, as the game wore on in the first half, we were kicking easy passes out of bounds or they were going under our foot. We didn’t recognize that we had two versus one, sometimes three versus one. We ended up passing the ball to the other team, and you can’t do that. That annihilated us in the game; destroyed us.”

Pulido opened the scoring with a well-taken finish in the 17th minute, giving him eight goals and five assists in just 17 appearances (14 starts) in all competitions since signing for Sporting ahead of the 2020 campaign. Among players with at least 700 regular season minutes played, Sporting forward Alan Pulido ranks second in MLS since the start of 2020 with 0.973 goals and primary assists per game.

Also in that timeframe, Pulido has a goal or assist in 9 of the 12 regular-season games he has started. He is the only player in MLS to record a goal or assist in 75% of their regular season starts (min. 5 regular season starts) during that period.

SPORTING REUNION

On the MLS debut of center back Kaveh Rad: “(Nicolas Isimat-Mirin) was left out with an injury. I thought (Kaveh) fit in well for the game and it was our decision to put him in there. I thought there were things he did really well in the game. I also think that when young guys come in, they need some help from other guys around them—just like John (Pulskamp) in goal. We just need to be a different team and work hard for the goalkeeper. We need to work hard for the guy who’s pressuring the ball, the guy who’s defending. There has to be cover. There were a lot of things today that just weren’t there. I have to go back to the drawing board with the guys and try to get that rectified before we go into this next stretch.”

When expansion team Austin FC pays its first-ever visit to Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday night, there will be a slew of familiar faces on the other side of the field. Austin FC head coach Josh Wolff, assistant Davy Arnaud and defender Matt Besler, three of the most accomplished MLS players in Kansas City history, will go head-to-head against Manager Peter Vermes and Sporting in the final fixture of Week 4.

All three individuals have left indelible marks on the field while donning a Kansas City uniform, combining for 784 competitive appearances and seven MLS All-Star selections as members of the club. Five of Sporting’s seven major trophies were secured with Wolff, Arnaud or Besler as an integral member of the squad.

On Alan Pulido’s first-half goal: “It was really good. Alan was actually excellent in the game. If I was him, I’d be incredibly frustrated because him and a few other guys wanted the ball. They wanted to play and they were trying. Again, to play at this level, you have to want the ball. Today, for some reason, with the mistakes that we made, (RSL) really, really hurt us. When you don’t have the ball and you lose it in the spots that we did, you start guessing and you start making decisions that you normally don’t make. Suddenly the other team is motivated in their home opener and they capitalize on it. Credit to them.”

Wolff enjoyed two stints with the Wizards from 2003-2006 and 2008-2010 and was inducted into the Sporting Legends hall of honor in 2019. Arnaud spent 10 seasons with the Wizards/Sporting KC from 2002-2011, while Besler is the club’s all-time leader in all longevity stats, having represented his hometown team from 2009-2020. In addition, Austin FC’s head athletic trainer, Satoshi Iida, spent four years with Sporting Kansas City as an assistant athletic trainer from 2017-2020.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 9, 2021 vs. Austin FC | 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 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 191 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 and 2020. 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 156 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 444 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 13 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 eighth 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 is in his fifth 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.

Isimat has played over 250 professional matches since 2010, featuring in the top divisions of France, the Netherlands and Turkey. He has logged 93 appearances each in France’s Ligue 1 and the Dutch Eredivisie, where he won three league titles as an integral member of PSV Eindhoven.

In 2014, Isimat was loaned from Monaco to PSV Eindhoven. In his first Eredivisie season, he helped PSV win the league title by a 17-point margin, leading to PSV acquiring the defender on a permanent transfer ahead of the 2015-16 campaign. He appeared in 26 matches as PSV captured another Eredivisie title. Isimat and PSV won their third title in four years in 2017-2018. In early 2019, Isimat joined Besiktas in Turkey, starting 14 matches during the latter half of the season. For the 2019-20 campaign, the defender was loaned back to Ligue 1 for a stint with Toulouse, making 16 starts.

Born in the Paris suburb of Meudon, Isimat competed in the famous Clairefontaine youth academy from 2004-2007 before continuing his development at Rennes and Valenciennes. He began his professional career as an 18-year-old in 2010 and spent the next three seasons as a regular starter for Valenciennes. Isimat-Mirin landed a transfer to French title contender Monaco, where he played 11 matches for the club in all competitions during the 2013-14 season.

Isimat represented France as a U-20 and U-21 youth international and notably featured during 2013 UEFA European U-21 Championship qualifying. He struck a center back partnership alongside future World Cup winner Raphael Varane as France finished atop their qualifying group.

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. Sporting made the loan move permanent ahead of the 2021 season. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MATCH PREVIEW After consecutive match wins against the Colorado Rapids and Minnesota United FC, Austin FC will travel to Kansas City, KS, for the first of three fixtures in 2021, as they face Sporting Kansas City at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday, May 9. Austin FC is coming off a 1-0 road win that saw midfielder Diego Fagundez score his second goal of the season in as many matches. Against Minnesota, goalkeeper Brad Stuver made a big save in the closing minutes of the match to preserve his clean sheet and help lead an Austin defense that has conceded only three (3) goals in three (3) matches. Captain Alex Ring put in his best performance of the season against the Loons and was named to the MLS Team of the Week for his efforts. Another player to keep an eye on is midfielder Jared Stroud, who provided an assist to Fagundez against Minnesota. Sporting KC had a bounce-back 2020 season, finishing first in the Western Conference, but failing to make the MLS Cup Playoffs, losing 3-0 at home to Minnesota United FC. The Loons brought most of their core back, including Mexican International Alan Pulido and US Youth International Gianluca Busio, while making some additions along the backline and midfield.

SKC have had an up-and-down start to the season, collecting four (4) points through three (3) matches, and recently suffered a loss at Real Salt Lake in Week 3. Goalkeeper Tim Melia has yet to play in a match due to injury this season but could make his return this weekend against Austin.

HEAD COACH JOSH WOLFF Josh Wolff joined Austin FC in November 2019 as Austin FC’s first-ever head coach in a multiyear agreement. Wolff, who twice represented the United States as a player in both the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cup competitions, joined Austin FC at the end of the 2019 FIFA window. Wolff previously served on the staff of current USMNT Head Coach Gregg Berhalter for five (5) seasons while at Columbus Crew SC (MLS) prior to re-joining Berhalter on the USMNT staff where he assisted in the team’s recent run to the final of the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Wolff started his MLS coaching career in 2012 with D.C. United where he was an Assistant Coach through 2013. In 2014, he joined Columbus Crew SC as an Assistant Coach, where the team qualified for the playoffs in four of five seasons, winning the Eastern Conference in 2015 and competing in the MLS Cup that year.

Before becoming a coach at the highest level in the United States, Wolff’s stellar playing career spanned from 1998 to 2012, in which time he featured as a goal-scoring forward in both MLS and Germany’s Bundesliga. In total, Wolff made 367 combined appearances for his club sides while tallying 106 goals and was named to the MLS All Star team in 2002 in 2006. Additionally, he received MLS and Club honors as a player, claiming the MLS Cup in 1998, winning three US Open Cup championships in 1998, 2000, 2004 and adding one as an Assistant Coach with D.C. United in 2013. Wolff was most recently inducted into Sporting Kansas City’s (MLS) Sporting Legends Hall of Honor after registering 46 goals in 164 competitive appearances for the Club.

A native of Stone Mountain, GA, Wolff regularly featured for the USMNT from 1998 through 2008 including two appearances in FIFA World Cup competitions, in 2002 and 2006. Across the entirety of his national team career with the USMNT, Wolff registered 52 caps and scored nine goals while wearing the Stars and Stripes. Wolff ultimately became synonymous with the legend of “Dos a Cero” after scoring an important goal for the U.S. in the historic World Cup qualifying win over Mexico in 2001 and recording an important assist in the legendary U.S. win over Mexico in the 2002 FIFA World Cup round of 16. He was also a CONCACAF Gold Cup Champion in 2002 and 2005, scoring the game-winner against Costa Rica in the 2002 final. Wolff was also named U.S. Soccer’s Young Male Athlete of the Year in 1998 and was a US Olympic team athlete in 2000, joining Team USA at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

In Wolff’s most recent capacity with the USMNT, his role was to assist the head coach, Gregg Berhalter, in teaching and executing the team’s style of play, as well as analyzing and assessing training sessions and matches. His role off the field included evaluating the US player pool both domestically and internationally, as well as working alongside the staff in detailing and defining the team’s game model. He is also responsible for leading the USMNT’s scouting efforts in the CONCACAF region, preparing scouting reports on up-coming opponents. As a result, Wolff has extensive game preparation and regional scouting experience.
