The 2024 season was the sixteenth season for Seattle Sounders FC in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top flight of professional club soccer in the United States. It was the 41st season for a professional team bearing the Sounders name, which had originated in 1974 with the first incarnation of the franchise. The team remained under the management of Brian Schmetzer in his eighth full MLS season as head coach of the Sounders.

Background

See main article: 2023 Seattle Sounders FC season.

The Sounders finished second in the Western Conference during the 2023 regular season and qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs after missing the 2022 edition.[2] The team were eliminated in the Conference Semifinals by Los Angeles FC, which ended a 19-match home unbeaten streak in the playoffs.[3] Throughout the year, Seattle had one of the best defenses in MLS but were unable to produce many goals, especially during the absence of Cristian Roldan.[4] The roster had not changed significantly during the year due to salary cap constraints and largely was retained from the 2022 season.[5]

The 2024 season was the first for the Sounders under their updated logo, unveiled in September 2023 as part of the club's 50th anniversary celebrations.[6] It was also the first season at their new headquarters and training facility, the Sounders FC Center at Longacres in Renton, which opened in February 2024 and replaced the Starfire Sports complex in nearby Tukwila.[7] [8] The new facility, shared with the Tacoma Defiance and academy teams, includes four full-size fields, a dedicated kitchen and lounge, and a players' clubhouse.[7]

Summary

Preseason

The team was expected to undergo major roster changes after the expiration of contracts for key players according to Craig Waibel, who entered his second year as general manager.[9] Among the departures was former captain and midfielder Nicolás Lodeiro, who has a Designated Player contract that expires during the offseason.[10] He entered free agency on December 12, 2023.[11] Seattle's two other Designated Players, Raúl Ruidíaz and Albert Rusnák, have contracts that run through the season.[12] [13]

On December 4, 2023, the club announced that they would retain 22 players from the 2023 roster and declined the contract options for backup goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland, midfielder Ethan Dobbelaere, and forward Héber.[14] Goalkeeper Stefan Frei signed a new two-year contract the following day.[15] The Sounders selected three players in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft, including two from colleges in the Pacific Northwest, and acquired defender Jonathan Bell in the Re-Entry Draft.[16] [17] Bell was signed on January 12 alongside forward Braudílio Rodrigues, a former Tacoma Defiance player.[18] With the return of Danny Leyva from his loan to the Colorado Rapids, the Sounders entered preseason with three young center midfielders who would compete to play alongside João Paulo.[19] On January 24, the team announced the signing of Argentinian forward Pedro de la Vega to four-year Young Designated Player contract—the first in Sounders history.[20]

The Sounders opened their training camp in the Seattle area on January 16 and then traveled to Marbella Football Center Spain for preseason friendlies and additional training.[21] [22] The team played their first preseason opponent, Serbian club FK TSC, on January 31 and won 3–2 over the course of two hour-long scrimmages with two different lineups.[23] The Sounders then defeated Swedish side IFK Norrköping and lost to Danish side Odense BK in two matches; all three matches in Marbella were played without the team's starting defenders due to injuries and national team call-ups.[24] [25] The team returned to Seattle and opened the new Longacres training facility on February 13.[7] The Sounders played their final preseason friendlies against Sacramento Republic FC and reserves from the Tacoma Defiance at Longacres on February 17; the team lost the first match against Sacramento and won the second match, which was split between Sacramento and Tacoma players. Following the matches, Schmetzer said that the Sounders "didn't play up to their potential" but said that new signing Pedro de la Vega's abilities "are as advertised".[26]

Regular season

The first match of the season, against MLS Cup runners-up Los Angeles FC, was played on the road due to the installation of new FieldTurf at Lumen Field.[27] The Sounders traveled without several injured starters, including goalkeeper Stefan Frei, defender Yeimar Gómez Andrade, and midfielder Albert Rusnák. The team played with a modified two-forward formation and conceded two goals by the 55th minute; back-up goalkeeper Andrew Thomas made four saves in his debut. Pedro de la Vega scored from a penalty kick in the 72nd minute that was awarded by the video assistant referee for a foul on Jordan Morris; the match ended in a 2–1 loss for Seattle.[28]

Former captain and midfielder Osvaldo Alonso returned to retire with the Sounders and signed a one-day contract on February 29, 2024.[29] The team's home opener ended as a scoreless draw with Austin FC; the Sounders outshot their opponent 24–3 but were unable to score from their chances.[30] Pedro de la Vega left early in the second half with a right hamstrung injury, which the Sounders later announced would prevent him from playing for six to eight weeks.[31] The team traveled across the country to face the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park, but the match was suspended in the sixth minute due to the waterlogged field. After an evaluation, the match was postponed to a later date; the Union's planned trip to Mexico for the CONCACAF Champions Cup made a next-day rematch infeasible.[32]

Non-competitive matches

Key

Preseason matches

Competitions

In addition to league play, the Sounders also participated in several cup competitions. In July and August, MLS play halted for the Leagues Cup, an international competition with Liga MX clubs hosted in the United States and Canada.[33] Seattle was one of eight MLS clubs that played in the U.S. Open Cup based on the 2023 Supporters' Shield standings; other MLS teams were represented by MLS Next Pro squads as part of a compromise between MLS and U.S. Soccer.[34] MLS had previously announced their intention to not send any senior MLS squads to the competition due to fixture congestion and other factors.[35]

Major League Soccer

Regular season

The 2024 regular season schedule was released on December 20, 2023. The Sounders played 34 matches during the regular season from February 24 to October 19. Of those regular season matches, 28 were played against teams in the Western Conference; the six matches against teams from the Eastern Conference were all played before the Leagues Cup break in July.[33]

Seattle qualified as one of the top seven clubs in the 2023 regular season standings that is not participating in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.[36]

Leagues Cup

The 2024 Leagues Cup, the second edition of the expanded inter-league competition between MLS and Liga MX hosted in the United States and Canada, began on July 26. All MLS matches were paused until the end of the tournament on August 25. The Sounders were drawn into group West 6 alongside Minnesota United FC and Liga MX's Club Necaxa; the competition's schedule was released on March 14, 2024.[37] MLS teams played a minimum of two matches in the tournament, of which they hosted at least one; matches did not include extra time and proceed directly into a penalty shootout if tied after regulation time.[38]

Players

For the 2024 season, the Sounders were permitted a maximum of 30 signed players on the first team, of which 10 roster positions were designated for supplemental and reserve players.[39] Additional homegrown players are eligible to be signed to off-roster slots and are able to appear in MLS matches through short-term agreements.[40] A base salary cap of $5.47 million applied to the non-supplemental players with exceptions for certain categories, including up to three Designated Players who counted for a set amount in the cap.[39] The Sounders were also allocated six international slots that were filled by players from outside the United States who did not have a green card. Two of these slots were traded in January 2024 to Los Angeles FC for general allocation money to be used in 2025.[41]
