Sporting Kansas City History
Sporting Kansas City's 2013 season marks the club's 18th year in Major League Soccer. Kansas City was introduced as one of the 10 charter members of MLS on June 6, 1995. Four months later, the league unveiled the nicknames, logos, and uniform designs for the franchises, including the Kansas City Wiz. Following the 2010 campaign, the team was officially re-branded as Sporting Kansas City at a major announcement that featured the unveiling of the team’s highest-profile signing in 2010, Mexican icon Omar Bravo.
Sporting Kansas City Players
This includes many great players that have played for this club. In April 1996, the Wiz began to play under Head Coach Ron Newman. Led by star midfielder Preki, who earned his first of four career MLS Best XI selections, the inaugural season ended with an elimination in the Western Conference finals. The team officially extended its name to “Wizards” following the 1996 season, ending the short, but memorable, the life of the “Wiz” moniker. In 1997, the re-christened Wizards finished 21-11 and atop the Western Conference, but surprisingly bowed out in the first round of the playoffs. Preki led MLS in scoring with 41 points and was named League MVP. He was joined on the MLS Best XI squad by Mark Chung and Richard Gough. The players and technical staff were showered with individual accolades commensurate with the team’s success. Tony Meola was named MLS Cup MVP, League MVP, Goalkeeper of the Year, and Comeback Player of the Year. Peter Vermes won MLS Defender of the Year, and Bob Gansler was named MLS Coach of the Year. Both Vermes and Meola were named to the MLS Best XI.
