SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTESNEW TURF AT CENTURYLINK FIELD

Sounders FC, the Seattle Seahawks and First & Goal Inc. jointly announced last week that the installation of a new FieldTurf Revolution 360 playing sur-face has been completed inside CenturyLink Field. The new surface replaces the previous FieldTurf pitch that was installed in 2016, allowing both Sounders and Seahawks players to utilize the state-of-the-art field effective immediately. Saturday’s home contest versus Cascadia Cup rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC marks the debut of the new FieldTurf.

“Because of our strong partnerships with the Seattle Seahawks, First & Goal Inc. and FieldTurf, we are pleased to announce this new surface for our play-ers half a season ahead of schedule,” said Sounders FC Owner Adrian Hanau-er. “The close relationships between all four organizations allow for this type of proactive collaboration, and we are excited for our players to take the field on their new surface this weekend. FieldTurf is a global leader in this space, and we are proud to have played on their surfaces for all 11 of our MLS seasons.” FieldTurf systems offers unmatched performance and safety characteristics, delivering a premier experience to athletes and field owners. The company continues to find new ways to reduce the risk and severity of injuries, and its focus on safety has led to numerous injury-reducing innovations and improve-ments. Independent multi-year research validates their mission and execution of providing the safest playing fields possible for the athletes who use them. Revolution 360 uses a leading monofilament fiber, providing optimal playability for football and soccer. Revolution 360 achieved a score of 83 on the Fiber Performance Index (FPI) and showed no signs of wear after 150,000 Lisport cycles in Fiber Wear testing conducted by Penn State’s Center for Sports Surface Research - an unprecedented score. “FieldTurf has been a great partner for years and continues to set the standard in turf technology,” said David Young, Seahawks Senior Vice President of Busi-ness Operations and General Manager of CenturyLink Field. “It is imperative that we continue to provide the best playing surface for both the Seahawks and Sounders FC and we are proud to work with FieldTurf once again.” “FieldTurf is thrilled to continue our long-standing relationship with the Sea-hawks and Sounders FC,” said FieldTurf President Eric Daliere. “We share a commitment to player safety and it is a testimony to the quality of our products that such prestigious organizations continue to put their trust in our company.” CenturyLink Field is one of four NFL stadiums to utilize FieldTurf, along with Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Detroit’s Ford Field and New England’s Gil-lette Stadium. There are three MLS stadiums in addition to CenturyLink Field that use FieldTurf (Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, New England’s Gillette Stadium and Portland’s Providence Park). The two Seattle organizations have a long history with FieldTurf. In 2000, when the Seahawks played at the University of Washington’s Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium, they became the first NFL team to play their home games on FieldTurf. The partnership has continued at CenturyLink Field and at both the Seahawks and Sounders FCtraining facilities (VMAC and Starfire Sports). Sounders FC has played on FieldTurf since its inaugural 2009 season in Major League Soccer.

SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTESCHAD MARSHALL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM PROFESSIONAL SOCCER

Seattle Sounders FC defender Chad Marshall on Wednesday, May 22 announced his retirement from professional soccer due to injury. The 34-year-old concludes a historic 16-year Major League Soccer career with Sounders FC and Columbus Crew SC, in which he became the only player in league history to win MLS De-fender of the Year three times. Marshall finishes his career with seven major trophies and ranks second all-time among field players in all participation categories (appearances, starts and minutes played).

“After more than 15 years of living my childhood dream, the time has come for me to hang up the boots,” said Marshall. “I’d like to thank everyone that has played a part in my career. To my teammates, support staff and coaches: you’ve been my second family. The locker room is what I’ll miss the most. Thank you to the fans of Seattle and Columbus for supporting me throughout the years, as well as the Sounders FC and Columbus Crew SC organizations for giving me a chance to represent them on the field. Most importantly, I’d like to thank my family. I’m forever indebted to them for the sacrifices they’ve made in allowing me to pursue this dream. From heartbreaking losses to MLS Cup wins, own goals to cartwheels, it’s been a blast.”

The second overall selection in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft, Marshall’s accolades across his 16-year career include three MLS Defender of the Year honors (2008, 2009, 2014), four MLS Best XI selections (2008, 2009, 2014, 2018) and four MLS All-Star appearances (2009, 2010, 2014, 2015). On the team side, he is a two-time MLS Cup Champion (2008 with Columbus; 2016 with Seattle) and a four-time Supporters’ Shield winner (2004, 2008 and 2009 with Columbus; 2014 with Seattle), in addition to winning the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with Sounders FC. He ranks fourth overall and second among field players in MLS history with 409 appearances, 404 starts and 35,843 minutes played (regular season only), recording 26 goals and 16 assists. He also has 30 career appearances and three goals in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.

Playing his final professional match on May 4 at Minnesota United, Marshall has been listed on the club’s injury report with right knee inflammation in recent weeks.

“When we traded for Chad back in December of 2013, Head Coach Sigi Schmid really believed in him, and he challenged us to go and get one of the best defenders in league history,” said Sounders FC Owner Adrian Hanauer. “Despite being a known commodity across MLS, Chad still exceeded all of our expecta-tions during his time in Seattle. On top of his exceptional play on the field, Chad brought a level of veteran stability and leadership to the locker room and was an excellent member of the Seattle community. On behalf of the club, I extend my heartfelt thanks for his service and consider it an honor to have watched him in Rave Green.”

Marshall came to Sounders FC via trade prior to the 2014 season after 10 years with Columbus Crew SC. In his five-plus seasons with Seattle, the reliable center-back started 154 of his 156 career regular-season appearances (fourth in club history in both categories), recording 10 goals and six assists. In his first season in Rave Green, Marshall started all 31 of his appearances and helped the club to its first Supporters’ Shield and fourth U.S. Open Cup title, in addition to starting all four postseason matches and earning MLS Defender of the Year and Best XI honors. He helped Seattle to back-to-back MLS Cup appearances in 2016 and 2017, starting all 11 of the club’s postseason matches in those seasons. In his last full season in 2018, Marshall finished runner-up for MLS Defender of the Year and earned his fourth Best XI selection. He appeared in 19 of Sounders FC’s 20 postseason matches during his time in Seattle, and scored a 90th-minute goal in the second leg of the 2015 Western Conference Semifinals against FC Dallas. For his contributions, Marshall was voted by his teammates as Sounders FC Defender of the Year four times (2014, 2016-2018) in his five full seasons with the club.

“Thank you, Chad. It was a privilege to have such a smart, humble player as part of the Sounders for so long, one of the greatest careers for any domestic player in MLS history,” said Sounders FC General Manager & President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey. “We really enjoyed having Chad as part of this organization, from his wickedly funny personality to everything he brought on and off the field. Chad is going to be successful with whatever comes next, and he will always be part of the Sounders family.”

SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTESCHAD MARSHALL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM PROFESSIONAL SOCCER

After being selected by Columbus Crew SC second overall out of Stanford, Marshall spent 10 seasons for the Ohio side and is the club’s all-time leader in appearances (253), starts (250) and minutes played (22,220), recording 16 goals and 10 assists in regular-season action. He also scored twice in 11 postseason appearances, including tallies in the 2008 Eastern Conference Championship and the game-winning goal in the 2008 MLS Cup Final. He helped Columbus capture the Supporters’ Shield in 2004, 2008 and 2009, and earned MLS Defender of the Year and Best XI honors in 2008 and 2009. On the club side, he took home the team’s 2011 MVP award, Defender of the Year honor four times (2008-2010, 2013) and was awarded the first Breakout Performance of the Year honor in 2004.

“Ever since he came to Seattle, Chad has been a massive influence on our franchise, whether it was his play on the field or his impact off of it, he is a true champion,” said Sounders FC Head Coach Brian Schmetzer. “It’s hard to put into words all of the positive things he has brought to the club and his teammates. It has been an honor to coach such a fantastic American player, arguably one the best defenders in MLS history. I’d like to thank him for what he’s done in the Sounders community and wish him the best in whatever he decides to do next. We, the players and staff will miss him, and our league has lost a great player.”

Marshall earned 12 international caps for the U.S. Men’s National Team in his career, including five appearances in a runner-up finish at the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He scored his lone international goal in his first match with the USMNT, a 3-0 friendly win over Colombia on March 9, 2005 in Fullerton, California. After nearly seven years of absence from the national team, Marshall started and played 90 minutes in a scoreless draw with Serbia on January 29, 2017 in San Diego.

“Chad is one of the best athletes I ever played with or helped bring to a club in a management role,” said Sounders FC Vice President of Soccer & Sporting Director Chris Henderson. “He won champi-onships on multiple teams and his longevity and consistency are a testament to the measure of his value in this league. We were fortunate to have him contribute to our success for so many years here in Seattle.” A standout at Stanford from 2002 through 2003, Marshall started 39 of his 40 appearances, registering three goals with two assists. He was named to the 2002 NCAA College Cup All-Tournament Team after helping the Cardinal reach the championship match, and he earned All-Pac-10 honors both seasons. Prior to Stanford, he was a standout at Rubidoux High School in Riverside, California, where he earned NCSAA All-American honors as a senior in 2002, in addition to being named a Parade All-American in 2001 and 2002, as well as Parade’s Best Defender in 2002.

Chad Marshall became just the second field player in league history to record 400 career starts in March 30’s scoreless draw at Vancouver (Jeff Larentowicz became the third on May 12).

Marshall, the only three-time MLS Defender of the Year, currently ranks second all-time among outfield players in career appearances (409), starts (404) and minutes played (35,843), trailing only Kyle Beck-erman in all categories (including goalkeepers, he ranks fourth in those categories.

Seattle’s 1-0 vs. Vancouver on June 29 vauled the Rave Green to the top of the 2019 Cascadia Cup standings. Sounders FC is level with Whitecaps FC with four points apiece, but hold the first tiebreaker on head-to-head points. Last season, Seattle captured its fifth Cascadia Cup title (third in MLS) after earning nine points from four matches, including a 2-1 win at Vancouver to clinch the trophy.

The Cascadia Cup formally started in 2004 by the biggest supporters groups for each of the three clubs - Emerald City Supporters, Timbers Army and Vancouver Southsiders. The competition began when all three teams were members of the USL First Division and involves all three clubs, save for 2009 and 2010, when it was between the Timbers and the Whitecaps due to Seattle moving to MLS. In 2011, all three sides were in the MLS for the first time and the competition has existed in top division since.

THE RETURN OF SAMMY THE SOUNDER

Seattle Sounders FC has a new addition: Sammy the Sounder, a reboot of the club’s USL-era mascot. Sammy made his first appearance on Monday afternoon at Seattle Children’s Museum for a Forever Green Kids Club event presented by Delta Dental and debuted to the public at Seattle’s Kids May match on April 13

Sammy the Sounder joins the Rave Green as a descendant of the USL Sam-my, and, having spent time traveling with his pod, has returned to the Puget Sound. He is set to serve as a primary ambassador for Sounders FC’s youth programming, with a special focus on sustainability, a guiding tenet of the club. As a young orca himself, Sammy enjoys being around children and is a bit too shy to appear in front of crowds in-match, preferring to spend his time in his matchday habitat, which will be located outside Section 139 in Soccer Cele-bration as part of the new Forever Green Kids Club presented by Delta Dental.

Seattle Sounders FC announced that it is hosting Bundesliga power Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, July 17 at CenturyLink Field. The match against Dortmund - currently ranked second in the Bundesliga and battling for the top spot with Bayern Munich - marks Sounders FC’s second-ever competition against a German club, following a friendly draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2017. Kickoff for this year’s contest is slated for 7:30 p.m. PT, with television coverage on JOEtv and YouTube TV. The leader in global football attendance and one of the most decorated sides in Europe, Dortmund has 15 major titles to its name since 1963.

Founded in 1909, Borussia Dortmund is one of the largest clubs not only in Germany, but all of Europe. Since 1974, Die Schwarzgelben(The Black and Yellows) have played at Signal Iduna Park, formerly known as Westfalensta-dion, the largest stadium in Germany and seventh largest in Europe. With a capacity of 81,365, Signal Iduna Park is renowned for its legendary matchday atmosphere. Dortmund routinely leads the world in professional club football attendance, including a global-best 80,230 fans per game this season, besting second-place Manchester United and third-place Barcelona.

One of the original 16 teams of the Bundesliga in 1963, Dortmund has eight German league championships, four DFB-Pokal titles, one UEFA Champions League (1996-1997) and one UEFA Winners’ Cup (1965-1966), the latter being the first-ever European championship by a German club. Just six years ago, Dortmund made it all the way to the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League Final, falling 2-1 to German rival Bayern Munich thanks to a late Bavarian winner.

In the 2018-2019 campaign, Dortmund currently sits second in the Bundesliga table with a record of 21-3-6, one point behind first-place Bayern Munich. After advancing out of the Group Stage of the 2018-2019 UEFA Champions League, Dortmund fell in the Round of 16 to Tottenham Hotspur, who just recently ousted Manchester City to advance to the Champions League Semifinals. Dortmund performs under the direction of first-year Manager Lucien Favre, a former Swiss international and longtime playmaking midfielder in Switzerland and France. Favre previously coached at OGC Nice, Borussia Mönchenglad-bach, Hertha BSC, FC Zürich, and other Swiss sides. Back challenging for the league title this year after a fourth-place finish one season ago, Dortmund is led by German National Team forward Marco Reus, who has been with the club since 2012 and has recorded 16 goals and 11 as-sists this season. Leading scorer Paco Alcácer has 17 goals this season, and recently completed a full transfer from FC Barcelona after previously joining Dortmund on loan. Winger Jadon Sancho, a 19-year-old Englishmen, leads the club with 17 assists to go along with 11 goals in his breakout season after joining Dortmund in 2017 following playing at the youth levels with Manchester City. The current squad also includes American playmaker Christian Pulisic, a 20-year-old attacker who signed with the German club in 2015 and became one of the most exciting prospects in Europe after impressing for both Dort-mund and the U.S. National Team. Earlier this year, Pulisic signed with English giant Chelsea on a deal that would see him remain at Dortmund through the 2018-2019 campaign.

CLUB INKS TRAINING JERSEY PARTNER

Seattle Sounders FC is expanding its partnership with CHI Franciscan - al-ready the team’s Official Partner in Health since 2016 - to make the healthcare provider the official training jersey partner of the Rave Green through 2020. The partnership furthers the Northwest Healthy lifestyle principles rooted in both organizations.

“We’re happy to welcome CHI Franciscan as our official training jersey partner,” said Sounders FC Owner Adrian Hanauer. “Sounders FC and CHI Franciscan both share Washington roots and community-minded principles and have worked well together over the past few years. We’re looking forward to further developing our relationship with these additional training ground elements.” Through its Northwest Healthy campaign, CHI Franciscan is helping to build healthy communities by increasing awareness of important health issues, including promoting age-appropriate cancer screenings, identifying stroke symptoms early and providing suggestions to improve heart health. The train-ing jersey partnership furthers awareness of CHI Franciscan and its programs that promote the importance of health and wellness throughout the region, encouraging Sounders FC fans to cultivate healthy lifestyle practices - just like their favorite players. “CHI Franciscan is excited to further our partnership with Seattle Sounders FC and together engage thousands of fans about the importance of living an active and healthy lifestyle,” said Ketul J. Patel, CEO of CHI Franciscan. “The Sounders are role models in our communities and have been exceptional partners in health.” This season, fans and spectators will see the partnership represented on the Sounders FC First Team, USL and Academy training tops, as all the club’s athletes hone their skills on the training ground. The new CHI Franciscan partnership is also being symbolized in the signage and media backdrop at Starfire Sports, the club’s training facility in Tukwila. These elements will debut tomorrow, Thursday, March 28, at Sounders FC’s training session.

Additionally, CHI Franciscan is set to return in 2019 as the presenting partner of the Rave Green Run, Sounders FC and RAVE Foundation’s annual 5K run and walk. The popular event provides runners and walkers with an authentic Sounders FC experience through the trails at the Starfire Sports campus. The funds raised benefit RAVE’s mission of building small fields for free play and investing in programs that use soccer as a vehicle to inspire youth and strengthen communities.

SOUNDERS GO CARBON NEUTRAL

Seattle Sounders FC announced that as part of its ongoing dedication to leading the way in sustainable, green practices, the club is going carbon neutral in 2019 and beyond, marking it as the first professional soccer team in North America to do so. Through this commitment, Sounders FC pledges that its operations will make no net contribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide, the leading cause of the climate crisis.

To begin its path to carbon neutrality, the club worked with Seattle-based Sustainable Business Consulting to calculate its greenhouse gas emissions and develop plans to reduce its impacts where possible. For sources unable to be eliminated - such as team travel for matches, scouting and other busi-ness - Sounders FC is offsetting the club’s emissions through the Evergreen Carbon Capture (ECC) program of Forterra, a nonprofit that works for regional sustainability. Using the club’s contribution to ECC, Forterra and its partner DIRT Corps are joining with the team and its fans to plant hundreds of trees in a part of the region that needs added tree cover. This not only reduces carbon dioxide, but enhances air and water quality.

In collaboration with Sustainable Business Consulting, the club first developed plans to reduce emissions where possible. After taking those steps, it looked for ways to mitigate the emission sources that remained, allowing Sounders FC to lower its climate impact beyond what can currently be achieved through internal efforts. By working with Forterra’s Evergreen Carbon Capture program, the Rave Green are able to not only directly impact the Puget Sound region by reducing carbon pollution and improving air and water quality, but to support a local non-profit and the local economy while creating meaningful hands-on projects in which the team and its staff, fans and partners can all participate.

Carbon neutrality serves a new step forward for Sounders FC, though the club has been dedicated to following sustainable practices in recent years, including the formation of an internal employee “Green Team” that discusses and implements green practices in the team offices and working closely with local nonprofit Washington Green Schools to find ways to empower youth to adopt sustainable lifestyles. Last season, Sounders FC and Washington Green Schools launched the “Rave Green Certification” program for schools across Washington State as a way to recognize schools that have demonstrated outstanding environmental leadership.

Sounders FC unveiled its new secondary kit for the 2019 Major League Soccer season, releasing the design in conjunction with MLS and adidas at a special reveal event at Zulily headquarters in Seattle. Named “Nightfall,” the all-black kit features striking pink accents along the sleeves and sides, as well as a unique jock tag and neck tape. Nightfall replaces the previous Heritage secondary option and will serve primarily as Seattle’s away kit, though it will be worn at a select home game announced later this season.

In contrast to Seattle’s signature Rave Green primary kit, the new secondary kit’s darker profile evokes a different dimension to the vibrant atmosphere on matchday. The club and adidas drew inspiration for Nightfall from the evening sky over CenturyLink Field during an iconic match in Sounders FC history, as Seattle faced rival Portland in front of 64,207 home fans on July 13, 2014. The pink sky highlighted an amazing game in which Clint Dempsey and Marco Pappa led the team to victory with a goal apiece.

In addition to the distinctive side striping elements, Nightfall features a new jock tag depicting two iconic silhouettes: The CenturyLink Field arches set against the background of Mount Rainier. Additionally, the neck tape proclaims “Cascades to Sea,” echoing the overall theme of the kit that celebrates the unique wild beauty of the region.

SEATTLE UNVEILS SECONDARY KIT MATCHDAY THEMES ANNOUNCEDSounders FC announced its collection of themed matchdays for the 2019 season, including dates for the club’s annual Pride match, among others. The theme days also include the continuation of the Sounders FC and Seattle Mariners Doubleheader promotion, scheduled for April 13.

HEAD COACH BRIAN SCHMETZERAfter leading Sounders FC to one of the most improbable comebacks in MLS history, Brian Schmetzer was named the club’s second-ever Head Coach on November 2, 2016. Upon assuming the interim manager role on July 26, 2016 following the departure of Sigi Schmid, Seattle sat in ninth place in the Western Conference with a 6-12-2 record. Under Schmetzer, Sounders FC finished the season with an 8-2-4 record and a fourth-place finish, becoming the first team in MLS history to make the MLS Cup Playoffs after having 20 or fewer points through the first 20 matches of the season. He is the first coach in MLS history to lead his team to the MLS Cup title after assuming the Head Coach position midseason.

In his first full season as Sounders FC’s Head Coach, Schmetzer led Sounders FC to another great season in 2017. After finishing tied atop the Western Con-ference with Portland in the regular season, the Rave Green cruised through the Western Conference playoffs and advanced to the club’s second consecu-tive MLS Cup, this time falling to Toronto FC 2-0 at BMO Field. In 2018, he led Sounders FC to its record 10th consecutive postseason appearance after go-ing 14-2-1 in the second half of the campaign, good for 2.53 points per game, the highest half-season average in league history, before ultimately falling to the Timbers in the Western Conference Semifinals.

A longtime Sounders FC assistant and former USL Sounders manager, Schmetzer entered his eighth season as Top Assistant Coach in 2016, a position he retained since December 22, 2008. He is one of the Puget Sound soccer community’s most recognizable and respected figures after playing and coaching for the region’s top professional franchises since 1980.

Schmetzer served seven seasons as the Head Coach of the Sounders’ United Soccer League’s First Division club from 2002-2008 before making the jump to MLS. He guided Seattle to USL-1 championships in 2005 and 2007, and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal advancements in 2007 and 2008.

Schmetzer has 16 years of coaching experience and a 15-year background playing at the professional level. He was a member of six championship teams during that span. In addition to the two USL championships, his teams also twice won the Commissioner’s Cup for the league’s best record (2002, 2007), while also qualifying for the playoffs six of seven years. He was chosen USL-1 Coach of the Year in 2002 after going 23-4-1. The Sounders were league runners-up in 2004. His overall regular season record in the USL era was 100-57-41.

Previously, he was assistant to former United States National Team defender Fernando Clavijo with the Seattle SeaDogs from 1996-1997. Seattle won the Conti-nental Indoor Soccer League title in 1997.

A Seattle native, Schmetzer was coached by his father, Walt, as a youth. His team won seven out of 10 state youth championships. He signed with the Sounders’ North American Soccer League franchise following his graduation from Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School in 1980. He played three seasons as a midfielder for Seattle before going to Tulsa for the final NASL season in 1984.

Schmetzer signed with the San Diego Sockers in 1984 and played seven seasons in the Major Indoor Soccer League with San Diego (1984-1988), Tacoma (1988-1990) and St. Louis (1990-1991). He was a member of San Diego’s MISL cham-pionship teams in 1985, 1986 and 1988. He returned to Seattle for the Sounders’ inaugural A-League season in 1994 before completing his playing career with the SeaDogs from 1995-1996.

In 1985, Schmetzer played on loan to FC Seattle, scoring twice in a 2-1 friendly win over Brazil’s Santos. While with Tacoma and FC Seattle, Schmetzer’s teammates included younger brothers Andy and Walter.

Schmetzer and his wife Kristine have six children between them.
