Team History
Starting the Team
Even though Philadelphia is a very large city, it did not have an MLS team when the league started in 1996. Before that, Philadelphia had other professional soccer teams. These included the Philadelphia Atoms (1973–76) and the Philadelphia Fury (1978–80). Both teams played in the North American Soccer League (NASL). The Atoms won the Soccer Bowl in their first year, 1973. Their goalkeeper, Bob Rigby, was the first soccer player on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The NASL league ended in 1984. The U.S. did not have a top soccer league again until MLS began in 1996.
People tried to bring professional soccer back to the Philadelphia area in 2001. A group of investors wanted to build a soccer stadium in Trenton, New Jersey. They planned to call the team "Union FC." However, another team, the MetroStars (now New York Red Bulls), could block this. They had a rule that no other team could be within 75 miles of them.
Five years later, there were plans for a 20,000-seat stadium at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. This stadium would be for a new MLS team and Rowan's football team. But the governor of New Jersey, Jon Corzine, stopped the funding for it. After this, a group called Keystone Sports & Entertainment looked at a spot in Chester, Pennsylvania. This is where Subaru Park is now.
In 2007, a fan group called the Sons of Ben started. They wanted to show MLS that Philadelphia had many soccer fans. They are given credit for helping MLS see that there was a strong fan base in the area.
Major League Soccer announced Philadelphia as its 16th team on February 28, 2008. This happened after local leaders and Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell approved a $47 million plan. This plan included building Subaru Park and improving the city of Chester.

In 2009, the Union added the Reading Rage youth soccer team as their minor league partner. The Reading Rage became "Reading United AC." In the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, the Union picked Danny Mwanga as their first choice. They also picked Amobi Okugo and Jack McInerney. In 2010, the Union also partnered with the Harrisburg City Islanders of the United Soccer League. In 2012, they formed a partnership with Deportivo Saprissa from Costa Rica.
First Season (2010)
The Union played their very first game on March 25, 2010. They lost 2–0 to Seattle Sounders FC. Sébastien Le Toux scored the Union's first goal at home on April 10, 2010. This was in a 3–2 win against D.C. United at Lincoln Financial Field. The team played Seattle Sounders FC again for the first game at Subaru Park on June 27, 2010. Le Toux scored the first goal there from a penalty kick. The Union won that game 3–1. All 12,000 season tickets for 2010 were sold before this game. In their first season, the Union finished 7th in the Eastern Conference. They had 8 wins, 15 losses, and 7 ties.
The Piotr Nowak Years (2010–2012)
The Union picked three players in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. The most notable was Zac MacMath. On January 11, 2011, the Union got Bimbo Bakeries USA as their jersey sponsor. On January 20, Philadelphia brought in two new players from Colombia: Faryd Mondragón (goalkeeper) and Carlos Valdés (defender). Mondragón had played in Germany and for the Colombian national team. Valdés was a captain in the Colombian First Division. The Union also signed U.S. player Freddy Adu.
The team improved a lot in the 2011 season. They finished 3rd in the Eastern Conference. They had 11 wins, 8 losses, and 15 ties. This was the first time the Philadelphia Union made it to the MLS Cup Playoffs. The Union started the season very well, winning 4 of their first 6 games. In the 2011 MLS Cup Playoffs, the Union lost their first game 2–1 at home. Sebastien Le Toux scored their first playoff goal. They then lost the second game 1–0 to the Houston Dynamo.

Coaching Changes (2012–2014)
John Hackworth became the Union's temporary coach on June 13, 2012. He became the permanent coach on August 30, 2012. The Union finished their third season in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. They had 10 wins, 18 losses, and 6 ties. Antoine Hoppenot scored four goals in limited playing time. Subaru Park, then called PPL Park, hosted the 2012 MLS All-Star Game. The MLS All-Stars beat Chelsea F.C. 3–2. The Union also reached the semifinals of the 2012 U.S. Open Cup.
The Union traded to get the first pick in the draft, using it on goalkeeper Andre Blake. They also picked midfielder Pedro Ribeiro. Other new players included Maurice Edu, Vincent Nogueira, Cristian Maidana, and Austin Berry. Despite these new players, the Union struggled. They won only two of their first 14 games. On April 20, 2014, the Union traded Jack McInerney for Andrew Wenger. Hackworth's time as coach ended on June 10, 2014.
Jim Curtin's Era (2014–2024)
Even though they missed the playoffs, the Union reached the 2014 U.S. Open Cup finals for the first time. During the break, the team traded for forward C. J. Sapong. They also traded midfielder Amobi Okugo to Orlando City SC. New players included Fernando Aristeguieta, Steven Vitória, and Eric Ayuk. In the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, the Union drafted Dzenan Catic, Eric Bird, and Raymond Lee. Despite these changes, the Union won only one of their first ten games.
In the summer of 2015, the Union traded defender Sheanon Williams for money. They used this money to sign Swiss midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta. The club had a good run in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. They reached the Open Cup final for the second year in a row. This game was against Sporting Kansas City at Subaru Park on September 30, 2015.
In 2016, the Union got Chris Pontius, Roland Alberg, and Ilsinho. They also got U.S. player Alejandro Bedoya. Key players from the 2016 MLS SuperDraft included Josh Yaro, Keegan Rosenberry, and Fabian Herbers. Goalkeeper Andre Blake had a great 2016 season and won the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Award. The Union was close to making the playoffs. They made it for only the second time in team history. However, they lost 3–1 to Toronto FC in the first round of the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs.

The Union did not improve much in 2017. They missed the playoffs again. But Jim Curtin stayed as head coach for the 2018 season.
A snake mascot named Phang was introduced on September 10, 2018. Before the 2019 season, the Union's Sporting Director, Ernst Tanner, announced that Curtin would stay as coach. By July of that season, the Union was in first place in the Eastern Conference. This was the team's best start ever. Because of this success, Curtin signed a new contract to stay as head coach until the 2021 season.
First Trophy and Big Success
The 2020 season was the Union's most successful so far. Even with problems from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Union reached the semi-final of the MLS is Back Tournament. They then won their first trophy, the 2020 Supporters' Shield, by finishing first in the league. Coach Curtin won his first Sigi Schmid Coach of the Year Award for the team's performance. Winning the Supporters' Shield meant the Union played in the CONCACAF Champions League for the first time. They won their first international game against Deportivo Saprissa. This win was also Curtin's 100th win as head coach.
Just two days before the Union's first-ever conference final game, 11 players, including six starters, had to follow the league's COVID-19 rules. Philadelphia lost to New York City FC 2–1. It was later said that the game could not be delayed.
On July 8, 2022, the Philadelphia Union beat D.C. United 7–0. This was a club record and tied the MLS record for the biggest win difference. The 2022 season was very special. Philadelphia finished first in the Eastern Conference with 67 points. They beat FC Cincinnati 1–0 in the conference semifinals. Then they beat defending champions New York City FC 3–1 in the conference finals. This sent them to their first-ever MLS Cup final.
In the MLS Cup, the Union came back from being down 1–0 and 2–1. Defender Jack Elliott scored two goals. But LAFC tied the game late in extra time and won the Cup in a penalty shootout.
Team Colors and Badge
On May 11, 2009, the Philadelphia Union's name, logo, and colors were announced. The name "Union" refers to the joining of the Thirteen Colonies. Philadelphia was the first capital of these colonies. It also honors the area's history with workers' rights. Fans voted on the name between January 19 and February 6, 2009. Other choices were AC Philadelphia, SC Philadelphia, and Philadelphia City.
The Union's colors are navy blue and gold. These colors were used in the uniforms of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The team's logo is round, which means unity. It has thirteen gold stars for the original Thirteen Colonies. The shape of the shield comes from the Philadelphia city coat of arms. The rattlesnake on the logo is from the "Join, or Die" cartoon by Benjamin Franklin. This cartoon was in the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1754. It also reminds people of the Gadsden flag, another symbol from the Revolution. The light blue in the middle of the logo honors the Sons of Ben fan group. It also comes from the city flag of Philadelphia. The navy blue, gold, and light blue colors are also found in the state flags of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. The team's second logo is a simpler version. It has the blue shield with the rattlesnake, a gold border, and a ribbon. The ribbon says "jungite aut perite," which is Latin for "join or die." This phrase was also in Benjamin Franklin's cartoon. The Philadelphia Union's name and colors also connect to Pennsylvania's important role in the Civil War.
In February 2013, the team showed off a third uniform. It honored Bethlehem Steel F.C., a very successful early American soccer team. This uniform was mostly black with white trim.
Team Sponsors
On January 11, 2011, the Philadelphia Union announced a four-year deal with Bimbo Bakeries USA. They became the team's official jersey sponsor. Bimbo's U.S. headquarters is near Philadelphia. This deal helps both the team and the company. Bimbo also became the official bread and baked goods partner for the Union and Major League Soccer.
This sponsorship deal was worth about $12 million.
In 2014, Bimbo and the Union agreed to continue their sponsorship for five more years. This deal was worth $2.3 million each year.
On November 26, 2014, the Union announced Dogfish Head Brewery as their official beer sponsor. This deal included building a beer garden at Subaru Park.

Stadium Information
- Subaru Park; Chester, Pennsylvania (2010–present)
- Lincoln Financial Field; Philadelphia (2010)
.jpg)
The Union plays most of its games at Subaru Park. This stadium used to be called Talen Energy Stadium and PPL Park. It has 18,500 seats and is built just for soccer. It is located in Chester, Pennsylvania, near the Commodore Barry Bridge. The stadium was designed so that about 60% of fans can see the Delaware River. It is a key part of Chester's city improvement plan.
Sometimes, the Union also plays games at Lincoln Financial Field. This is the home stadium for the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles. The Union played their first home game there on April 10, 2010. They also played another game there because of delays in building Subaru Park. Lincoln Financial Field is still the team's second home. They use it for games that are expected to have many fans. For example, they played a friendly game against Manchester United there in 2010.
Training Facilities
The Philadelphia Union's training fields are right next to Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. The training complex has two grass fields built in 2014. Before this, the Union practiced at a nearby park or at Subaru Park itself.
In 2016, the Philadelphia Union opened a new 16,500 square foot training building and offices. It was built in an old machine shop.
Youth Development
Second Team
On August 19, 2015, the team announced they would have a reserve team. This team would play in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in the United Soccer League (USL) starting in 2016. They would play games at Lehigh University's Goodman Stadium. The Union ended their partnership with the Harrisburg City Islanders.
On October 27, 2015, the name, logo, and colors for Bethlehem Steel FC were announced. "Steel FC" honors the historic Bethlehem Steel F.C. soccer team. This team played from 1907 to 1930. In December 2019, the Union said the Bethlehem Steel name would be retired. The club would be called Philadelphia Union II starting in 2020. On December 6, 2021, Union II announced they would join the new MLS Next Pro league.
Philadelphia Union Academy

The Philadelphia Union runs a special youth Academy. It trains young soccer players from age 9 to 17. After that, players can move up to Union II, the Union's second team.
The Union Academy teams play in MLS Next. This is a top youth soccer league in North America. Major League Soccer started this league in 2020. The Union's younger teams (ages 9-12) play in different local leagues and tournaments. They often play against older teams. The Union Academy teams train in Wayne, Pennsylvania, and in Chester, Pennsylvania. Chester is where the main Philadelphia Union team is located.
The Union Academy's teams in MLS Next are for boys aged 13 to 17. Many young players from the Union Academy also play for Union II. The Union Academy is known as one of the best youth academies linked to an MLS club. It has done well in tournaments both in the U.S. and internationally.
The Union Academy finds talented players from its own Junior Academy. It also finds players from good local programs. Some families even move to Pennsylvania for the benefits of the Union Academy. This includes going to the YSC Academy. This is a special school for soccer training and college preparation. It works closely with the Union Academy.
The Philadelphia Union Academy has helped many players join the Philadelphia Union team. They have also helped players join Union II, top college programs, and professional clubs around the world.
UPSL and NPSL Teams
In late 2022, the Union announced they would have a team in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL). This team, called Philadelphia Union UDS (Union Development Squad), played home games in Wayne, PA. They finished their season with 9 wins, 0 losses, and 3 ties. They made it to the playoffs but lost in the American Conference final.
In February 2023, the Union Development Squad joined the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) for the 2023 season.
YSC Academy
Between 70 and 80 players from the Philadelphia Union Academy go to a private school called YSC Academy. Philadelphia Union investor Richie Graham started this school in September 2013. It is a unique school just for talented soccer players in grades 7 through 12. The school is located at the Union's training complex in Chester, Pennsylvania. It is for student-athletes who want to play professional soccer. The first class graduated from YSC Academy in 2015. Many graduates have gone on to play professionally for the Philadelphia Union or other teams. Others have gone to college.
Team Culture
Supporters
Fan support was very important for starting the Philadelphia Union and building Subaru Park. This support came from a fan group called the Sons of Ben. They started in January 2007. The Sons of Ben asked Major League Soccer to bring a team to Philadelphia. They kept asking until the team was officially announced in January 2008. The group is named after Benjamin Franklin, a famous person from Philadelphia. They were part of the team's announcement. They sang their song and gave scarves to the team owners. They were also there for the naming ceremony on May 11, 2009.
The Sons of Ben are the main fan group. But there are also smaller fan groups. These include the Tammany Saints, the IllegitimateS, the Corner Creeps, the Bridge Crew, La Union Latina, The Keystone State Ultras, and the Chester Soccer Casuals.
Team Rivalries
The Philadelphia Union's main rivals are the New York Red Bulls and New York City FC. These rivalries exist because the cities are close to each other. Also, Philadelphia and New York City teams often have rivalries in other sports.
Many Union fans see the New York Red Bulls as a rival. Their stadium is the closest to the Union's. This means many fans travel to watch games between the two teams. They have played many important games against each other. This includes the Union's first playoff win. However, many New York Red Bulls fans see NYCFC and D.C. United as their main rivals, not the Union.
In recent years, the Philadelphia Union's biggest rivalry has been with New York City FC. Games between them have always been intense. The rivalry grew stronger after New York City beat the Union in the 2021 Eastern Conference Final. This was controversial because the Union had 11 players, including six starters, out due to COVID-19 rules. In a game at Subaru Park on June 16, 2022, there was an argument between New York City players and a Union medical staff member. This led to the trainer getting a red card. Union fans were very upset. The Union scored the winning goal in the last minute of the game. Fans cheered loudly, and a smoke bomb was thrown onto the field. After the game, Union player José "El Brujo" Martínez was seen making rude gestures to the New York City FC fans. This game made the rivalry much bigger. The Union got revenge in the 2022 Eastern Conference final. They beat NYCFC 3–1 at home to reach their first-ever MLS Cup final.
Another rivalry has started with Los Angeles FC. This is more about exciting games on the field than fan anger. Many fun and intense games have happened between these two teams. The MLS Cup 2022 between LAFC and the Philadelphia Union ended in a 3–3 tie after extra time. LAFC then won in a penalty shootout. LAFC also won the Supporters' Shield in 2022. They were regular season champions over the Philadelphia Union. This was because MLS uses total wins as a tie-breaker, not goal difference. The Union had a better goal difference than LAFC in 2022.
The Union also has some smaller rivalries. A rivalry with D.C. United started early because they are geographically close. Other teams like the New England Revolution and Atlanta United FC have also been rivals sometimes. This is due to many intense and important games. The Union also had a rivalry with Seattle Sounders FC for a while. This was despite them being in different MLS conferences. The Philadelphia Union played its first MLS game and stadium opener against the Seattle Sounders. The 2014 U.S. Open Cup final also made this rivalry stronger.
Broadcasting Games
Until 2022, WPHL-TV and WPVI-TV were the main English TV channels for Union games. This was for games not shown by Major League Soccer's national partners. JP Dellacamera was the play-by-play announcer. WPVI produced the broadcasts. Before 2018, CSN Philadelphia (now NBC Sports Philadelphia) produced the games for 6ABC.
During the 2012 MLS season, 17 games were broadcast on radio by WIP. The Union also worked with WIP on a weekly soccer show. Starting with the MLS is Back Tournament in July 2020, the Union moved to WDAS radio.
Since 2023, every Union game can be watched on MLS Season Pass through the Apple TV app.
