One of 10 charter members when Major League Soccer (MLS) launched in 1996, Sporting Kansas City began as the Kansas City Wiz and later, the Wizards, before rebranding as Sporting Kansas City in 2010. The club’s stadium, Children’s Mercy Park, opened in 2011, a cutting-edge facility that hosts more than 20,000 fans under a canopy roof.
Not only is Sporting Kansas City fun to watch—they’re good. Really good. The club’s resume includes two MLS Cup championships and four Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles, as well as a Supporters Shield trophy. Whether you’re a long-time soccer fan or have yet to see a professional match, a Sporting Kansas City game is a highlight of any Kansas City, KS travel itinerary.
