Minnesota United FC

Minnesota United FC represent the Twin Cities in Major League Soccer, playing at the striking Allianz Field in Saint Paul where the stadium's distinctive translucent exterior and intimate design create one of MLS's most visually memorable venues. The Loons' black, blue, and gray colors and the iconic loon crest pay homage to Minnesota's state bird and the lakes that define the region's identity. The club draws passionate support from across Minneapolis-St. Paul, with the Wonderwall supporters' section and the team's community roots creating a strong bond with the Upper Midwest. Minnesota's soccer culture has grown steadily since the club's NASL days, with the MLS arrival in 2017 accelerating the sport's popularity in a region traditionally dominated by football and hockey. The Loons continue building toward sustained success in the Western Conference.

Minnesota United joined MLS in 2017 after years in the NASL, where the club (previously known as the Minnesota Stars) had built a following before the rebrand to United and the push for MLS membership. The club's early MLS years were played at the University of Minnesota's football stadium before Allianz Field opened in 2019, finally giving the Loons a proper home and transforming the matchday experience. Darwin Quintero's tenure brought excitement and goalscoring flair, while Emanuel Reynoso's arrival created a new era of attacking ambition. The 2020 MLS is Back Tournament run saw Minnesota reach the semifinals, demonstrating the club's potential. The rivalry with the Chicago Fire and the club's connection to the Upper Midwest soccer community have defined the Loons' identity as they continue building toward their first championship.
