Kansas City Sports Roundup

Sporting KC

It can be hard to believe at times, but the most successful team in Kansas City sports is actually Sporting KC. The KC soccer club has a pair of MLS titles since 2000, as well as a number of other league honors. This year’s club looks to be in good shape to make a run at adding to that total.

Sporting KC Drops Match To Minnesota FC

Eric Palmer-Brown Called Up To USMNT U-20

Sporting KC defender Eric Palmer-Brown is joining the US Men’s National Team Under 20 squad. The young defender previously spent time with the national team in 2014 for the U-20 World Cup team. This year’s U-20 World Cup will be held in South Korea.

Mo Johnston To Join Sporting Legends

Sporting KC has a history to be proud of. To commemorate that, the club started the Sporting Legends. So far, the hall of honor has just eight members. Former star forward Mo Johnston will be the ninth member when he is inducted next week.
