About D.C. United

Club History

Although soccer is still considered by many to be a "niche sport" in United States, more Americans are being converted to fans of the glorious game as each year passes. With the birth of Major League Soccer in 1996, the U.S. once again had a top-flight league, allowing soccer-hungry fans across the country to watch the world's most popular sport in their own backyard.

As a charter member of MLS, D.C. United first stepped onto the pitch in 1996, and the team from the Nation's Capital would quickly set the standard for excellence in the league on the field and in the stands.
