In a second-half rally reminiscent of the City of Brotherly Love’s resilience, the Philadelphia Union has clinched a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the sixth consecutive season. The journey has been marked by unwavering determination and a commitment to turning potential into triumph for the city of Philadelphia.
From the very first day of preseason training, there has been a singular goal etched in the hearts and minds of every player: to transform what could have been into what they’ve won for Philly.
Under the guidance of head coach Jim Curtin, the Philadelphia Union has shown consistent improvement over the past five seasons. In 2020, the club achieved the best record in MLS and proudly hoisted the Supporters’ Shield. The following year, 2021, witnessed a remarkable journey to the Eastern Conference Final. In 2022, the team raised the bar even higher by clinching the Eastern Conference Championship. Each season, the squad has taken progressive steps forward, setting the stage for an electrifying 2023 run as they aim to bring the coveted MLS Cup home.
What sets the Philadelphia Union apart is their disruptive and aggressive playing style, reflective of the city’s spirit, which often leaves opponents intimidated. Their exceptional defense ranks among the league’s best, while an unstoppable trio of offensive weapons relentlessly plays for each other, the badge, and the city they represent. With these formidable attributes, the Philadelphia Union is primed for what lies ahead.
The Union’s sixth consecutive qualification for the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs solidifies their status as one of Major League Soccer’s premier clubs. Now, their focus shifts to securing as many home playoff matches as possible, as they relish the opportunity to bring winning soccer to the passionate Philly faithful.
The past three seasons have witnessed remarkable achievements, but this year’s squad aspires to craft its playoff legacy. That means bringing the postseason action to the heart of Philadelphia and illustrating to all challengers what it truly means to play in this city.
It’s time for Philadelphia to unite in this thrilling journey. Nothing shakes a stadium like a Jakob Glesnes rocket from 40 yards out. Nothing fills you with pride like a bone-crunching Jose Martinez tackle or a long-range Brujo bomb. And nothing quite matches the beauty of a playoff game on the banks of the Delaware River at Subaru Park.
So, plug into the excitement because Philadelphia Union is throwing the biggest party in the city, and you’re invited. It’s Playoff Time in Philadelphia, and the Union is ready to make history.
