Real Salt Lake history
Founded in 2004, RSL began MLS play in 2005 as an expansion side in the Western Conference. For its first three seasons, from 2005 to 2007, the club borrowed Rice-Eccles Stadium on the University of Utah campus. America First Field, a ground built for soccer, became the permanent home after that.
The high point so far is the 2009 MLS Cup. RSL came close several more times, finishing second in the 2010 Supporters' Shield race and losing both the U.S. Open Cup final and the MLS Cup final in 2013. It also reached the 2010-11 CONCACAF Champions League final, the first American club to get that far once the tournament adopted a group stage. Real Monarchs, its USL affiliate, won the second-division USL Championship in 2019.
