About

Sporting Kansas City History

Sporting Kansas City has the honor of being one of the original franchises of Major League Soccer, first kicking off in 1996 as the Kansas City Wiz. A year later, the name changed to the Kansas City Wizards, which remained in use until the end of the 2010 season.

The Wiz/Wizards/Sporting KC were founded by Lamar Hunt, who owned the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL. Hunt also helped to create Major League Soccer, the American Football League, and the United Soccer Association of the '60s, and his Hunt Sports Group owned the Wizards until shortly before he died in 2006.

Kansas City's MLS franchise has been home to some of the greatest names in American and international soccer, including Alexi Lalas, Tony Meola, Preki and Matt Besler. They have had a sustained period of achievement under former Wizards player and 2000 MLS Defender of the Year Peter Vermes, who has coached the team since 2009.

Sporting KC have claimed the MLS Cup in 2000 and 2013, a Supporters’ Shield in 2000 and four U.S. Open Cup titles (2004, 2012, 2015, and 2017). In 2023, Kansas City reached the Conference Semifinals of the MLS Cup Playoffs.

    Inaugural match

    by KSWizardsFan on 6/11/11LIVESTRONG Sporting Park - Kansas City

    Welcoming Sporting KC back from spending so long a time on the road. Livestrong Sport Park is amazing and gorgeous. This team deserves a stadium like this after being journeymen. Having to share facilities to the Chiefs & T-Bones. This soccer dedicated stadium will be admired for quite some time.

    Atmosphere was wonderful!

    by Mizzoulewis on 6/11/11LIVESTRONG Sporting Park - Kansas City

    I could have done without the disrespect of the opposing team fans during pre game because we couldn't hear a thing Lance Armstrong and the announcers were saying. The constant drumming during the game was annoying as well.

    Sporting Good Time

    by f3rgette on 6/11/11LIVESTRONG Sporting Park - Kansas City

    LiveStrong Sporting Park is a beautiful facility, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Everything went very smoothly, even though it was the first event in the facility. Sporting KC is an entertaining team, with passionate supporters, so every game is a guaranteed good time, regardless of the final score. I'm not sure where exactly we sat, since it was General Admission. But all of the South section seemed good. Great view of the south goal area. Great spot for people who like to sit during most of the game, and stand during important moments. Easy access to food, restrooms, and shops. Getting out after the game didn't take long at all.

    Sporting Kansas City will be great to see in 2011

    by StevenH on 5/15/11Livestrong Sporting Park - Kansas City

    I have been a KC soccer fan for about 10 years, and I have never been more excited for a season than this year. Me and my friends can't wait to see games at Livestrong Sporting Park starting in June. It's going to be the best soccer stadium in the country!

    The food in the all you can eat seats is terrible!

    by Jacquelyn on 7/12/09CommunityAmerica Ballpark - Kansas City

    Wizards games are always fun... everyone should go. BUT DO NOT PAY THE EXTRA MONEY FOR THE ALL YOU CAN EAT SEATS! It's a limited menu consisting of pasta that tastes like carboard, buttered hotdog buns that they call French bread, pre-packaged peanuts, hotdogs and cookies. The hotdogs and cookies were average... but can you really eat $15 worth of hotdogs and cookies????

    Wizards & Fireworks

    by SoccerLady on 7/5/09CommunityAmerica Ballpark - Kansas City

    July 4th Wizards game against Houston was a "thing of beauty and a joy to behold" even though the final score was less than desirable (0-1 loss on a freaky in the box header for Houston). We had seats in section 112 row 2 which is just immediately to the right of the west end goal. What made it beautiful was seeing the game from an unusual vantage point. Typically I watch games from the sidelines not the end so the flow of the game is very different - especially that close to the field. You get to see it like the goalkeeper sees it rather than as the coach sees it. KC was a bit distracted in the first half and played the second half very well having a number of near and very near misses to score. The fireworks after the game were beautiful. In general the atmosphere around the game - both pre- and post-game - was great. I hope the new complex for the Wizards works as well as Community America Park does.
