Founded in 2014 and beginning play in Major League Soccer (MLS) in 2017, the club from Atlanta, Georgia, not only met but shattered all expectations. Nicknamed 'The 5-Stripes' in reference to the club's pillars (Unity, Determination, Community, Excellence, and Innovation), the team adopted a bold, attacking approach from the outset, which resonated deeply with a city eager for an elite soccer team.

Under their first head coach, Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, Atlanta United qualified for the playoffs in their first season and conquered the MLS Cup in their second, in 2018, in front of a record-breaking home crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This triumph cemented their status as an elite club in the league. The following year, they continued their successful run by winning the U.S. Open Cup and the Campeones Cup, proving their quality on both domestic and international stages.
