Audi Field, inaugurated on July 14, 2018, is the state-of-the-art home of D.C. United and an architectural gem in Washington, D.C. Strategically located in Buzzard Point, this soccer-specific stadium has a capacity of 20,000 seats, designed to create an electrifying atmosphere. Its stands, with one of the steepest inclines in the league, ensure exceptional views from every seat. In addition to being the home of D.C. United and the Washington Spirit, the venue is a versatile event space that has hosted American football games, rugby matches, and concerts, becoming a key cultural and sporting landmark in the revitalization of the capital's southwest area.
D.C. United represents the history and passion of soccer in the United States capital. As one of the ten founding clubs of Major League Soccer (MLS) in 1996, the team quickly became the league's first dynasty, lifting three of the first four championships. This early success laid the foundation for a winning identity, forging a legacy that includes four MLS Cups, four Supporters' Shields, and three U.S. Open Cup titles, solidifying their status as one of the nation's most decorated franchises.
The team's nickname, the "Black-and-Red," is synonymous with a loyal and vocal fanbase, led by some of the oldest and most recognized supporter groups in the league, such as Barra Brava and the Screaming Eagles. This fanbase creates an unparalleled stadium atmosphere at every home game, turning the modern Audi Field into a true fortress. Opened in 2018, this 20,000-seat soccer-specific stadium offers an intimate and technologically advanced experience, bringing fans closer to the action than ever before.
Beyond its domestic achievements, D.C. United has also made its mark on the international stage. In 1998, it became the first MLS club to win the CONCACAF Champions' Cup and subsequently the prestigious Copa Interamericana by defeating Brazil's Vasco da Gama. These historic triumphs not only cemented their elite status but also raised the profile of American soccer globally. Attending a D.C. United match is a complete experience, an opportunity to witness the tradition and pride of a legendary club.
