SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC

Sounders FC’s three-match week comes to a close on Sunday evening with a matchup of the top two teams in the Western Conference, with Seattle hosting Sporting Kansas City at Lumen Field (6:00 p.m. PT / JOEtv, Prime Video, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM). This marks the first meeting between the two sides since August of 2019.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Kickoff: Sunday, July 25 | 6:00 p.m. PT Location: Lumen Field | Seattle, Washington Referee: Ramy Touchan Assistants: Ian Anderson, Jeff Hosking Fourth Official: Michael Radchuk VAR: Chico Grajeda Assistant VAR: Mike Kampmeinert BROADCAST INFORMATION Local TV: JOEtv Regional Stream: Prime Video Local Radio (Simulcast): 950 KJR AM Talent: Keith Costigan, Kasey Keller & Stefan Frei Pre-Match, Halftime & Post-Match TV: Michelle Ludtka, Brad Evans & James Riley Pre-Match, Halftime & Post-Match Radio: Jackson Felts, Wade Webber & Danny Jackson Local Radio (Spanish): El Rey 1360 AM Talent: Mario Rodriguez, Felipe Maqueda, Carlos Tapia & Marlo Vilela

After suffering its first loss of the season last Sunday at Minnesota, Sounders FC rallied for a 1-0 road win on Thursday evening at Austin FC, with Raúl Ruidíaz scoring his league-leading 11th goal of the season in the Rave Green’s first-ever trip to Q2 Stadium. Brian Schmetzer’s squad on Thursday set a league record with five players aged 19 years or younger in the starting XI. Last weekend’s loss to Minnesota snapped a league-record 13-match unbeaten streak (8-0-5) to start a season. The run also tied the longest in club history at any point in a single season, matching the franchise record set in 2017. Sounders FC’s current 14-match home unbeaten streak (100-4) is tied for the club record set in 2013. In addition to a heavy slate of injuries, Seattle is without Alex Roldan and Cristian Roldan, who are away on international duty for El Salvador and the United States, respectively, for this month’s Concacaf Gold Cup. Sounders FC is 9-7-4 all-time against Sporting Kansas City in MLS regular-season play, including a 5-2-3 record in Seattle. The two sides have not met since the 2019 season, when SKC defeated Seattle twice. The visitors currently sit second in the Western Conference with 27 points, five points behind first-place Seattle.

SOUNDERS FC vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY | JULY 25, 2021 - 6:00 P.M. PT

THIS WEEK VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY RUIDÍAZ WINS MLS POTW Sounders FC forward Raúl Ruidíaz has been voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week for Week 14 of the 2021 MLS season. The Peruvian scored the game-winning goal in Seattle’s 1-0 win Thursday evening over Austin FC at Q2 Stadium. After coming on as a second-half substitute, Ruidíaz scored the winner for Seattle in dramatic fashion, giving him sole possession of first place in the 2021 MLS Golden Boot race. In the 67th minute, after pouncing on mis-clearance just inside of midfield, Ruidíaz caught Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver off his line and smashed an arching shot from 40 yards away that soared just over Stuver’s outstretched arms and into the net. The Peruvian now has 53 goals in 78 MLS appearances (including playoffs) since signing with Sounders FC in the 2018 summer transfer window. Ruidíaz’s 11 goals this season rank first in the MLS Golden Boot race. In the MLS era, Ruidíaz officially became the fastest Sounders FC scorer to reach 10 goals (13 games in 2021). Former forward Obafemi Martins reached the double-digit mark in 14 games in 2014. He currently ranks first in MLS with 55 shots recorded and 22 shots on goal. The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season through both media and fan voting in a process conducted by MLS Communications. A panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) comprises 75 percent of the vote, while a Twitter fan vote represents the remaining 25 percent of voting. NASR consists of members of print, television, radio and online media.

SOUNDERS FC GAME NOTES THURSDAY AT AUSTIN FC: ONE FOR THE AGES

By starting five teenagers in Thursday evening’s 1-0 win in Austin, Seattle Sounders FC set a new league record. As defined by players 19 and under, no other team in league history has done this. Dallas (2019) and New York / New Jersey (twice in 2005) had previously started four teenagers. Thursday’s teenage starters for the Rave Green were Reed Baker-Whiting (16 years old), Obed Vargas (15 years old), Danny Leyva (18 years old), Ethan Dobbelaere (18 years old) and Josh Atencio (19 years old). Seattle’s starting lineup marked the second-youngest by average age for a game in MLS history, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Seattle’s previous club record of teenagers to start a match came on May 12 this season, a road win at San Jose, with both Danny Leyva and Ethan Dobbelaere getting the nod. Including Thursday’s starters, Seattle has now started 10 teenagers all-time in league play. That list includes Josh Atencio, Reed-Baker Whiting, Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez, Ethan Dobbelaere, Danny Levya, Miguel Montaño, Nouhou, Cristian Roldan, Obed Vargas and DeAndre Yedlin. Seven of those players are Sounders FC Academy products, including all five of Thursday’s teenage starters. Making their first starts for Sounders FC, Obed Vargas became the third-youngest player to appear in a match in MLS history, while Reed Baker-Whiting is now the sixth-youngest player in MLS history to start a match. A sixth teenager appeared for Sounders FC Thursday evening when 19-year-old Tacoma Defiance defender Alex Villanueva came on as a substitute in second-half stoppage time. After being made available via Short-Term Agreement for Sunday’s match in Minnesota and making his professional debut as an 85th-minute substitute, Sam Adeniran got his first MLS start at Q2 Stadium and played 54 minutes. The 22-year-old Houston native was acquired by Tacoma Defiance in March of this year, following stints in the lower professional divisions of Spain and Germany. Making his fifth start of 2021, Sounders FC Academy product Josh Atencio played his first MLS match at centerback. With regular starters Xavier Arreaga (yellow card accumulation) and Nouhou (adductor strain) both unavailable, Atencio deputized well in Seattle’s central defense, playing a full 90 minutes on Thursday in Texas and earning MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors. Adeniran, Vargas and Villanueva – in addition to fellow Tacoma Defiance player Juan Alvarez – were all available Thursday due to international callups and a slate injuries, creating Extreme Hardship and paving the way for Short-Term Agreements that allowed them to play in MLS action. This was the third time in as many games that the Rave Green exercised this option, doing so in last Sunday’s match at Minnesota and the July 7 home fixture vs. Houston, as well.

YOUTH IMPACT Making his First Team debut on Thursday, Tacoma Defiance midfielder Obed Vargas becomes the third-youngest player in league history to either start or play in a MLS match (15 years and 351 days). Dating back to Danny Levya’s First Team debut on June 5, 2019 at Montreal, Sounders FC players now occupy three of the top six positions re: youngest players to play in a regular-season game. Trailing D.C. United’s Freddy Adu (14 years and 306 days) and Vancouver’s Alphonso Davies (15 years and 257 days), the list is rounded out by Sounders FC’s Obed Vargas (15 years and 351 days), LAFC’s Erk Dueñas (15 years and 362 days) and Seattle players Danny Leyva (16 years and 31 days) and Reed Baker-Whiting (16 years and 46 days).

NEXT MAN UP IN GOAL Spencer Richey made his Sounders FC debut on Thursday in Texas, making three saves and recording a shutout against expansion side Austin FC. It marked the fifth career clean sheet for Richey, who joined the Rave Green this offseason after five pro seasons with Vancouver and Cincinnati. The Seattle native and University of Washington product got the nod in goal over Stefan Cleveland, who had started the previous nine matches following injuries to Stefan Frei. The three Sounders FC goalkeepers have combined to lead MLS with a 0.60 goals against average and seven shutouts this season. Since taking over as the primary replacement for Frei in May, Cleveland has registered 4-1-4 record with three shutouts, tallying 17 saves on 25 shots faced. His 0.78 goals against average is currently third in MLS among goalkeepers with at least eight appearances. The May 16 match vs. LAFC marked the first time since June 30, 2018, and only the seventh time in the last eight seasons, that someone other than Frei started in goal for Sounders FC in a MLS regular season match. Frei, who was injured on May 12 at the San Jose Earthquakes, was replaced by Cleveland, who joined Seattle from the Chicago Fire ahead of the 2020 season. The 27-year-old Dayton, Ohio, native entered his debut on May 16 with just five MLS matches to his name since joining the league in 2017. Prior to getting the starting nod following Frei’s injury, Cleveland’s last start came on October 7, 2018, in a 2-1 Fire loss at D.C. United.

SOUNDERS FC vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY | JULY 25, 2021 - 6:00 P.M. PT

SOUNDERS FC GAME NOTES SEATTLE’S HISTORIC START Sounders FC suffered its first loss of the season on July 18 at Minnesota, snapping a league-record 13-match unbeaten streak (8-0-5) to start a campaign. The previous record was set in the league’s very first season, when the LA Galaxy started off its history by going undefeated in the first 12 games (winning two by shootout). That standard has since been equaled on three occasions before Seattle this season: the Kansas City Wizards in 2000, the LA Galaxy in 2010 and Real Salt Lake in 2014. Seattle’s 13 games unbeaten also tied the club record for longest streak without a loss at any point during in a single season, equaling the record set in 2017. It also tied the ninth-longest undefeated run contained during a single season. Only one team has gone more than 15 consecutive games without a loss in a single season in league history – FC Dallas in 2010, with the record-tying 19-game undefeated streak.

SOUNDERS FC GAME NOTES CLUB TO HONOR GABRIEL

NEW MINI PITCH IN TACOMA

Seattle Sounders FC announced activities surrounding the club’s home match this Sunday against Sporting Kansas City (6:00 p.m. PT / JOEtv, Prime Video, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM). The game marks both the Rave Green’s return to Lumen Field following an international break and two road matches and also the return of the club’s popular Heritage Match, presented by WaFd Bank.

Seattle Sounders FC’s charitable arm, RAVE Foundation, along with partner the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and Tacoma Public Schools announced the construction of a new mini pitch at Boze Elementary in Tacoma, Washington. In addition to the new playspace – which will be located at the front of the school and available for free use by the community – RAVE Foundation is bringing its “First Kicks” early learning program to Boze this fall, and the Tacoma Public Schools Indian Education Program is donating new books to the Boze library, all written by Native American authors and centered around Native American themes.

Seattle’s celebration of its heritage leads with special elements to honor club legend Jimmy Gabriel, who passed away at the age of 80 on July 10. A fierce player and beloved coach, Gabriel arrived in the Puget Sound region in 1974 as a player with the original Seattle Sounders of the North American Soccer League and went on to build a coaching tradition that stretched decades – serving in coaching positions with the NASL Sounders, San Jose Earthquakes, English sides Bournemouth and Everton, USL Sounders and the University of Washington men’s soccer program. Gabriel mentored countless players over his career and is remembered for his character, integrity and leadership. In recognition of Gabriel’s immense contributions to the Sounders organization and greater soccer community, Sounders FC players this Sunday are wearing both a jersey patch with the initials JG and black armbands featuring the NASL Sounders logo. Additionally, a stadium-wide moment of silence in Gabriel’s memory will be observed prior to kickoff. Fans can enjoy heritage-themed matchday elements, such as video board graphics, throughout Lumen Field on Sunday, while matchday sponsor WaFd Bank is providing this week’s matchday giveaway, with 12,000 heritage-themed hats available at entry gates. A fan-favorite giveaway each year, those attending the match are encouraged to arrive early to make sure they are able to secure one of the coveted items. CLEAR entry lanes are returning to Lumen Field starting Sunday, available at the northwest and southwest gates and providing fans with CLEAR membership the ability to get into the match more quickly. Also returning starting with Sunday’s match is Sounders FC’s popular Value Menu. Launched in 2019 to much acclaim, the Value Menu offers $2 popcorn, $3 hot dogs, $5 Bud Light and $7 for either a 12-ounce can of Elysian craft beer, a nine-ounce BABE wine or a 12-ounce can of Schilling cider. All fans can take advantage of these new deals. With Washington State now fully open, Sounders FC additionally reminds fans that the club is no longer requiring vaccination verification for stadium entry. This also applies to children, who no longer need to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test for entry. Under current King County guidelines, masking is not required for those who are fully vaccinated. Those who are not fully vaccinated or unable to be vaccinated, including children, are required to continue to wear face masks. Regardless of vaccination status, Sounders FC supports the use of face masks for all guests.

Sounders FC’s USL Championship affiliate, Tacoma Defiance, is also partnering with RAVE Foundation at Boze, with a commitment to assist with future soccer clinics and other student-focused programs going forward. The Boze mini pitch marks the ninth mini pitch driven by RAVE Foundation and Sounders FC’s commitment to Defend the Right to Play, focusing efforts on youth in communities of color and in historically marginalized communities in the Puget Sound region – one of the core tenets of Sounders FC’s Social Justice Framework. RAVE Foundation mini pitches are unrentable, meaning they remain open and available at all times to the communities they were built to serve, preserving play opportunities for all children. This mini pitch also marks the first playspace built in partnership with the Puyallup Tribe. Sounders FC and the Puyallup Tribe’s Emerald Queen Casino announced a new multi-year partnership earlier in 2021, including logo placement on the club’s jersey sleeves and a strong community-based component. The Boze mini pitch and the implementation of RAVE Foundation’s “First Kicks” programming come as part of the Puyallup Tribe’s partnership with the Rave Green. Residing within the Tacoma Public School District, Boze Elementary serves approximately 450 students from diverse backgrounds, with 80 percent of the student body qualified for the free or reduced lunch program and 25 percent identified as English Language Learners. Currently, only 24 percent of the low-income students at Boze enter kindergarten proficient in all six areas of development, compared to the district average of 55 percent. Leadership at Boze has set goals to increase developmental preparedness for its youngest students, and RAVE Foundation – with assistance from the Puyallup Tribe – is supporting this effort by bringing its “First Kicks” early learning program to Boze. This special curriculum is aimed to help young learners move their bodies while developing cognitive skills, all using a soccer ball. In addition to the construction of Boze’s new mini pitch and the implementation of the early learning program, Tacoma Public Schools and its Indian Education Program – one of five local nonprofit beneficiaries of Sounders FC’s Jimi Hendrix Kit jersey sales – are honoring this special collaboration by donating new books to the Boze library. All of the books donated are written by Native American authors and center around Native American themes. The entire Boze campus underwent reconstruction in the 2019/2020 school year, with its unveiling in fall of last year postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The school is now preparing to open, with a special site set aside for the RAVE Foundation mini pitch, which is scheduled to be completed by late July. A celebratory grand opening event is scheduled for Wednesday, September 8, the first day of school. The opening will include an all-school “welcome back” assembly featuring Sounders FC, a showcase of RAVE Foundation’s “First Kicks” program, the unveiling of the mini pitch and an all-school soccer ball giveaway.

SOUNDERS FC GAME NOTES LEAGUES CUP MATCHUP SET

WAIBEL INDUCTED INTO HUSKY HOF

Major League Soccer (MLS) and Liga MX announced the participants and schedule for the 2021 Leagues Cup, the official annual single-elimination tournament that features clubs from MLS and Liga MX, Mexico’s topflight league. Sounders FC is set to host Tigres UANL at Lumen Field in the Quarterfinals of the tournament on Tuesday, August 10 at 7:00 p.m. PT.

Sounders FC Senior Vice President of Soccer Operations and Sporting Director Craig Waibel has been named to the 2021 class for the Husky Hall of Fame, the University of Washington announced today. A four-year letterman and two-year captain at UW from 1994-1998, Waibel becomes the first Washington men’s soccer player inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame. The Spokane native returned to Montlake as an assistant coach in 2012-2013 following a 12-year playing career with four MLS Cup titles. Prior to joining Sounders FC’s front office in April, he had a four-year stint as Real Salt Lake’s General Manager with three postseason appearances. Waibel and his fellow 2021 inductees are set to officially join the Husky Hall of Fame around the 2021 Homecoming game vs. UCLA on October 16, with official ceremonies scheduled for the following day, October 17.

An MLS-run event, Leagues Cup tickets are not included as part of Sounders FC’s Season Ticket Memberships and must be purchased separately. The general public may purchase Leagues Cup tickets beginning on Thursday, July 15. This marks Sounders FC’s first appearance in Leagues Cup. The Rave Green are 4-8-2 all-time against Liga MX sides, all coming in Concacaf Champions League play. On August 23, 2011, the club’s 1-0 win over Monterrey marked just the second time an MLS side won a match in Mexico. Sounders FC became the first MLS team to eliminate a Mexican club in the Knockout Stage after advancing past Tigres in the quarterfinals of the 2012-2013 tournament, featuring a 3-1 second-leg win with memorable goals from DeAndre Yedlin and Djimi Traore. Sounders FC has also faced off with Liga MX giants Club América, Chivas de Guadalajara and Santos Laguna in Champions League action, in addition to international friendly matches against Chivas, Club Tijuana and Club Necaxa. In addition to Seattle and Tigres, the qualified participants for this year’s tournament are Liga MX sides Pumas, León and Santos Laguna, joining MLS clubs Sporting Kansas City, Orlando City SC and New York City FC. Should Club León win Liga MX’s Campeón de Campeones 2020-2021 scheduled for July 18, Chivas would replace León as the next best-ranked club in the combined standings, and León would then participate in the 2021 Campeones Cup. The competition is being broadcast on Univision and ESPN’s networks and digital platforms in the United States, TSN and TVA Sports in Canada, and Televisa and TUDN platforms in Mexico. Beyond the rivalry, Leagues Cup has taken on an increased focus for both MLS and Liga MX clubs. Concacaf recently announced that Leagues Cup will have a qualifying slot to the Concacaf Champions League, starting with the new format in 2023. The 2021 edition of Leagues Cup features four clubs from each league in a single-elimination format. Liga MX teams joining the 2021 edition of the competition are the top four teams from the overall standings from the 2020-2021 Liga MX season that are not scheduled to participate in the 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League. Similarly, the participating MLS teams are the top two teams from each conference based on the 2020 MLS regular season standing not scheduled to participate in the 2021 Scotiabank Champions League. As was announced in March of this year, the MLS clubs will host the opening Quarterfinal matches of the tournament. The tournament, to be played in its entirety in the United States, is scheduled to begin August 10-12 with Quarterfinal matches. The Semifinals are slated for September 14-15, and further details including venues and kickoff times will be announced following the Quarterfinals. The Leagues Cup Final, to be played in a neutral venue and announced in the coming weeks, is scheduled for September 22. Should Sounders FC beat Tigres, the club would face the winner of Orlando City SC and Santos Laguna in the Semifinals.

“I consider it an incredible honor to be named to the Husky Hall of Fame alongside these other talented athletes,” said Waibel. “To be the first men’s soccer player inducted is both humbling and surprising, considering the prolific history of this program under coaches like Dean Wurzberger and Jamie Clark. Now that I’m back in the Pacific Northwest, I can only continue to give back and carry on the storied legacy of this soccer community.” Waibel was named first team all-conference and third team all-region as a senior in 1998 for Head Coach Dean Wurzberger, leading the Huskies to a conference title a year after helping achieve a No. 1 ranking during the 1997 season. After his playing career ended in 2010, he spent one year on the Michigan Wolverines coaching staff before returning to UW as an Assistant Coach under Head Coach Jamie Clark, helping the Huskies to a combined 31-7-7 record and a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances, including an elite eight run in 2013. He began his pro career with the Seattle Sounders of the A-League for two seasons before an accomplished 11-year run in MLS with the Colorado Rapids, LA Galaxy, San Jose Earthquakes and Houston Dynamo. The defender tallied 175 MLS appearances, eight goals and 16 assists (including postseason play), in addition to winning four MLS Cups (2002, 2003, 2006, 2007), one Supporters’ Shield (2012) and one Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (2001). Following his time coaching at Washington, Waibel joined Real Salt Lake in 2014 as an Assistant Coach before being promoted to Technical Director in 2015, then taking over as General Manager later that year following Garth Lagerwey’s departure to Sounders FC. Waibel served as RSL’s GM through the 2019 MLS campaign, reaching the postseason in three of his four seasons. He was hired by Sounders FC prior to the 2021 season as Senior Vice President of Soccer Operations & Sporting Director.

SOUNDERS FC GAME NOTES SEA-POR SOCCER DOUBLEHEADER

CLUB BIDS FAREWELL TO WILEY

Seattle Sounders FC and OL Reign announced that the two teams are partnering to offer an exclusive doubleheader matchday at Lumen Field this August, giving soccer fans in the Puget Sound the unique opportunity to see both their men’s and women’s professional teams play at the same venue on the same day.

Seattle Sounders FC on July 1 announced that after an accomplished 20-year career with the club, longtime executive Bart Wiley is bidding farewell to the Rave Green. Seattle’s longest-tenured employee in the club’s modern era, Wiley joined the Sounders on September 18, 2001, playing a pivotal role in guiding the club from its USL days into Major League Soccer in 2009. He served in a number of positions within Sounders FC, including Chief Operating Officer from 2014 through 2019, going on to become the club’s Executive Vice President & Chief Global Officer. Over the past two decades, Wiley has cultivated a legacy of service and leadership, helping to grow the Rave Green into a leading MLS club and an organization that annually ranks in the global top 40 in average attendance.

Making the event even more exciting, both teams are facing their Portland nemeses, with OL Reign taking on Portland Thorns FC at 4:00 p.m. PT followed by Sounders FC battling the Portland Timbers at 7:30 p.m. PT. “Sounders FC is thrilled to come together with OL Reign to offer this exceptional day of elite competition, intense rivalry and the celebration of soccer,” said Sounders FC Majority Owner Adrian Hanauer. “As Seattle continues to make its case as a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, this event provides a perfect platform to showcase the passion of the fans in the region, our amazing stadium, and the city’s position as one of the best sports sites in the country. As we look ahead to increasing stadium capacity and welcoming larger crowds back to Lumen Field as the summer progresses, I can think of no better way of doing so than by gathering together to support both OL Reign and Sounders FC on the same night.” “This is a day soccer fans in the Pacific Northwest—including me—have waited a very long time to see happen,” said OL Reign CEO Bill Predmore. “We are deeply appreciative of our partnership with the Sounders and thank Adrian and his staff for their tireless effort to make this event a reality. It will be a special moment for our players, our club, our supporters, and I hope for everybody in the Pacific Northwest. We have assembled a special group of players this season, so I am thrilled a new group of fans will be introduced to our team, and I am excited that our players will be able to experience one of the most extraordinary soccer environments in our country.” This special event offers fans the chance to see top athletes from the men’s and women’s game, including multiple members of the U.S. Women’s National Team, who will be returning to the NWSL after representing their country at the summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. With matches against Portland always bringing extra fervor, the stage is set for a special day of soccer in Seattle. Additional details, including matchday programming and entertainment between the two matches, are being released at a later date. The doubleheader is being treated as a single-ticketed event, with one ticket providing access to both games. Therefore, Sounders FC’s Season Ticket Members receive the Reign-Thorns match as part of their existing ticket package and will have the ability to manage those tickets in the coming month in a similar fashion to any of their usual games. For fans who are not currently Season Ticket Members, Sounders FC plans to offer partial season ticket packages that include the doubleheader, as well as single-match tickets to the day’s event. Further information regarding on-sale dates for partial packages, single-match tickets and group ticketing options is forthcoming, as both teams adhere to developing health and stadium capacity guidelines.

“Bart Wiley has been a trusted advisor, executive and friend for the past two decades, helping to build Seattle Sounders FC into the community asset the club has become,” said Sounders FC Owner Adrian Hanauer. “Bart has been with the club since I first became involved with the organization in 2001, and in that time, he has helped steer us from our humble USL days into the Major League Soccer club we all know and love today. While Bart is saying goodbye to his day-to-day role with us, he departs our club as a friend, and someone we know we’ll be seeing again at our matches and in the community. Thank you to Bart, his wife Erin and their two girls for continuing to be a part of our Sounders family.” Beginning with the club during its USL era in 2001, Wiley served in multiple roles prior to Sounders FC’s ascension to MLS, including General Manager of the USL Sounders. Promoted to Chief Operating Officer in 2014 from his previous role as Vice President of Business Operations, Wiley oversaw all business-related efforts for Sounders FC, including sales, marketing, corporate partnerships, communications, broadcast and digital-related content, international marketing and community outreach. Under his guidance, Seattle led Major League Soccer in attendance from 2009 through 2016, with the club never finishing outside the league’s top two. In 2019, he took on the role of Executive Vice President & Chief Global Officer, representing Sounders FC around the world at numerous conferences and events, while also working with the club’s ownership group on strategic priorities. “I wish to thank Adrian for the amazing experiences and opportunities I’ve been a part of for the last 20 years,” said Wiley. “From playing in front of 2,000 fans as a minor league team in 2002 to hosting MLS Cup in Seattle in front of a sold-out Lumen Field in 2019, I’m honored to have worked with my colleagues in building the organization into what it is today. Having 15 months in a pandemic to reflect on my future, I’ve chosen to explore other options outside this incredible organization. I love the Sounders and am excited to attend matches as a fan.” Wiley previously spent four seasons as Director of Business Development for Sounders FC, receiving the MLS Operations Director of the Year Award for his efforts during the club’s inaugural MLS campaign in 2009. Prior to his time in Seattle, he worked as Director of Communications for 711, Net Inc., Director of Publicity for NASCAR Busch Grand National Division driver Bobby Hillin and as publicist for former Major League Baseball player Brett Butler. On the field, Wiley has been a part of sustained success as a Sounder, seeing the club win the 2005 and 2007 USL First Division titles, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championships in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2014, in addition to the 2014 Supporters’ Shield and two MLS Cup titles in 2016 and 2019.

SOUNDERS FC UNVEILS JIMI HENDRIX KIT

Unveiled to overwhelming support in March, Soudners FC’s vibrant and original new secondary kit was designed to pay homage to legendary musical artist and Seattle native Jimi Hendrix, and quickly became both the fastest-selling jersey in club history and the fastest-selling kit in the history of MLSstore.com. Demand remains high, and fans wishing to purchase one of the special jerseys should visit the club’s Pro Shop locations to take advantage of the limited quantity of kits still available. The uniform presents a bold look at first glance with its bright coloring and swirling psychedelic pattern, but also includes carefully crafted distinctive and meaningful details upon closer inspection, including a reproduction of Hendrix’s authentic signature stamped on the bottom left corner of each jersey front and neck tape featuring lyrics from his “Straight Ahead,” reproduced from his own handwritten copy of the song. The line reads, “We got to stand, side by side,” and signifies Sounders FC’s belief in the importance of coming together, both on the pitch as supporters, fans, players and coaches stand together on matchdays, but also in the community and as citizens of the wider world. The design is part of MLS and adidas’ “Community Kit” line, introduced this season to allow clubs the opportunity to create secondary kits rooted in individual meaning for each team. The Jimi Hendrix Kit was conceived as a way for Sounders FC to not only honor Hendrix and his place as a Seattle icon, but, on a larger scale, to recognize and celebrate the meaningful principles of peace, love and giving for which Hendrix stood. Additionally, the secondary kit features the logo of the Puyallup Tribe, an original steward of land throughout what is now known as the Puget Sound. The tribe and its Emerald Queen Casino recently signed a multi-year partnership with the Rave Green, including EQC logo placement on the team’s primary jersey and the Puyallup Tribe logo placement on the secondary jersey. As a result of jersey sales, Sounders FC and the Puyallup Tribe’s Emerald Queen Casino will donate $50,000 across five local nonprofits in alignment with Sounders FC’s Social Justice Framework, ensuring that The Jimi Hendrix Kit has purpose beyond the pitch. Nonprofits served were the Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation, the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM), RAVE Foundation and the Tacoma Public Schools Indian Education Program. At the match this Sunday, fans in attendance or those stopping by the Lumen Field Pro Shop can pick up the “Item of the Match,” which is the club’s Jimi Hendrix Scarf. The scarf’s design features the same bold colors seen throughout the kit, with a pattern inspired by the guitar strap Hendrix wore at his famous 1969 Woodstock performance. Zulily remains Sounders FC’s jersey partner, entering the third year of a partnership that has seen the club reach the MLS Cup Final in both 2019 and 2020, claiming victory in 2019 at home in front of a record-setting crowd at Lumen Field.

#SEAvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City hits the road for the biggest match of the season to date as the team squares off against first-place Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field on Sunday night. Sporting is currently second in the Western Conference and trails Seattle by five points with a game in hand. Sporting KC has a strong record against the Sounders since the start of the 2015 season, losing just twice and going 6-2-3 in the 10 meetings since. Sporting KC’s last visit to Lumen Field saw the side play to a pulsating 3-2 victory on Aug. 4, 2019. Felipe Gutierrez scored a first-half brace before Erik Hurtado scored a brilliant game-winner in the second half as SKC’s backline held firm in the face of a Seattle onslaught to close out the contest. The clash earlier that season took place on May 26, 2019, with Sporting running out 3-2 winners in an enthralling game at Children’s Mercy Park. Johnny Russell scored twice late in the first half before Raul Ruidiaz reduced the deficit early in the second period. Russell completed his hat trick only for Kelvin Leerdam to net another just moments later and ensure a nervy finish as Sporting held on to take all three points. #SEAvSKC: Recent Meetings (SEA leads 9-7-4 in regular season)

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

SALLOI STRIKES AGAIN

A mouth-watering clash awaits with the final MLS game of the week as second-place Sporting KC takes on first-place Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field on Sunday night. Sporting (8-3-3, 27 pts.) currently trails Seattle (9-1-5, 32 pts.) by five points in the Western Conference, with the Sounders also occupying first place in the Supporters’ Shield standings - two points ahead of New England in the East.

Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi continued his brilliant 2021 season with a crucial equalizing goal during Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park. Salloi pounced on the rebound after Johnny Russell’s free kick had struck the woodwork to salvage a point for Sporting in the 94th minute.

Sporting are unbeaten in their last four matches, going 3-0-1 since their last trip to the Pacific Northwest when the team fell to a 2-1 loss against Portland at Providence Park.

Salloi now has eight goals and three assists this season, making him one of the most lethal attacking players in all of MLS. Stat Goals Non-penalty goals Game-winning goals Goals + primary assists Shots Shots on goal Carries into box Touches in opponent’s box

During Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting needed a 94th-minute equalizer from Daniel Salloi to salvage a point. It was the latest game-tying goal in club history, while the team has also seen two gamewinners scored later.

Salloi’s eight goals in 2021 only trails high-priced Designated Players Raul Ruidiaz of Seattle Sounders FC and Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez of the LA Galaxy who have 11 and 10 apiece, respectively. Salloi’s performance on Wednesday earned him a spot on the bench of the MLS Team of the Week.

DUKE SHINES IN FIRST START OF 2021

Wednesday night’s draw also marked the 17th point that Sporting has recovered from a losing position in 2021, producing five wins and two ties after falling behind. That’s nine points better than the next best team (Nashville - 8 pts, one win and five ties).

Sporting Kansas City Homegrown midfielder Cam Duke produced his finest performance to date in an MLS match during Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park. Making his first start of the season with a slew of players unavailable or returning from injury, Duke earned plaudits far and wide for his lethal combination of pace and acceleration, guile and industriousness over the course of 90 minutes.

BACK TO THE PNW

Sporting Kansas City is back on the road this weekend as the team travels to the Pacific Northwest to take on Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field in the final MLS game of the Week on Sunday night. Sporting has already faced off against the other two teams from the Pacific Northwest this season, claiming a 3-0 home win over Vancouver on May 16 before falling to a 2-1 road defeat against Portland on June 19.

In fact, Duke became the first MLS player during the Opta era (2010-present) to record each of the following in a regular season match:

Sporting last visited Lumen Field almost two years ago, on Aug. 4, 2019. In a pulsating encounter, Peter Vermes’ men emerged victorious by a 3-2 scoreline. Felipe Gutierrez gave the visitors a 2-0 lead at halftime after an early strike from a tight angle and a penalty kick. Jordan Morris pulled a goal back for Seattle seconds into the second half before Erik Hurtado produced a stunning solo effort to restore SKC’s two-goal lead. A second from Morris ensured a tense finale as Sporting hung on to claim all three points.

• • • •

12 duels won 55% duel success 8 fouls suffered 90% passing accuracy

The Overland Park, Kansas native has now made 12 appearances (three starts) for his hometown club since signing out of the SKC Academy midway through the 2019 season.

The 3-2 scoreline was a repeat of the match at Children’s Mercy Park on May 26, 2019, when Johnny Russell produced a masterclass of a performance to lead his team to all three points. The Scotsman scored the opening two goals of the match, the first with a low strike from the edge of the area and the second following a mazy run through several Seattle defenders. Raul Ruidiaz pulled a goal back for the Sounders midway through the second half only for Russell to curl home his third of the day to complete his hat trick. Kelvin Leerdam reduced the deficit but Sporting saw the game out.

POSTGAME PV

On the team’s performance in the 1-1 draw with San Jose: “I thought the team was a little rusty. I thought, for a lot of the game, we were undisciplined a little bit. We had a lot of changes in the lineup. I think that’s probably the reason why. All in all, (it was) a good effort by the guys in finding a way back into the game, notwithstanding the referee. It was terrible watching from where I watched it; terrible not being on the sideline.”

Interesting to note that Sporting swept Seattle 2-0-0 in 2019 despite posting a 10-16-8 record and missing the postseason for the first time in nine seasons, while Seattle finished second in the West and would go on to win MLS Cup.

On the play of Wilson Harris and Cam Duke: “I thought Wilson did a really good job in the first half. I thought he came in between the lines and tried to help us in the build out. I thought he made a couple chances for himself as well. I thought the one he took with his left foot was a great chance, which he created and he has the ability to do that. In the amount of time that he had, he created some really good chances for himself. I was impressed with his play. He did a really good job. (Cam) was probably the player of the game from our perspective. With his speed, his quickness to turn, to make separation with other players is tremendous and tonight he put it on display. I hope he gains a lot of confidence from it because he was, in a lot of respects, unstoppable. The referee should have given, for card accumulation, should probably have given two more double yellows in the game just with fouls on him. There were two fouls in the first half that he didn’t call that I don’t even know what you’re watching in the game. The inconsistency was incredibly consistent. (Cam) was very, very good tonight.”

Seattle still leads the all-time regular-season series 9-7-4, though Sporting are 6-2-3 in the last 10 meetings dating back to the start of the 2015 season.

BUSIO & PULIDO REMAIN WITH NATIONAL TEAMS

Sporting Kansas City Academy product Gianluca Busio remains with the U.S. Men’s National Team for the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup. Busio made his highly anticipated debut for the USMNT on July 11 against Haiti, before earning his first two starts against Martinique and Canada on July 15 and 18 as the USMNT won all three group stage games to advance as group winners. Last Sunday’s win over Canada capped a momentous week for Busio. Not only has he earned his first three caps for the U.S., he also bagged his first assist in Thursday’s 6-1 win against Martinique. All three appearances came in the friendly confines of Children’s Mercy Park, where the USMNT now boasts an unbeaten 8-0-1 record. Kansas City remains unbeaten as the USMNT’s host city with a 10-0-1 mark dating back to 1968.

On Kerry Zavagnin leading the team on Wednesday night: “Kerry, Zoran and I have been together since the start of this. Everybody is on the same page. I have the utmost trust in those guys. We knew what we were going to have to do based on some of the situations with players coming back in Remi (Walter) and Gadi (Kinda) and Roger (Espinoza) – just a lot of different guys coming back into the team with injuries and different things that guys are coming off of. I thought they did a really good job of managing that part of it. A lot of the subs were pre-determined and they were the right ones. Those guys do a great job and they did a great job tonight. Not easy, I know, but at least we got a result.”

In addition, star striker Alan Pulido is also continuing the Gold Cup tournament with Mexico, having appeared in El Tri’s final two group games - wins against Guatemala and El Salvador. Pulido now has 18 caps with the Mexico National Team, including five since joining Sporting Kansas City ahead of the 2020 MLS campaign. In 25 appearances across all competitions with Sporting, Pulido has tallied 13 goals and six assists. 4

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 25, 2021 at Seattle Sounders 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 198 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 163 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 455 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.

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.
