DC United is one of the most storied and successful franchises in Major League Soccer history, representing the nation's capital with pride. The team plays its home matches at the modern Audi Field, located in the Buzzard Point neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Founded as an original MLS club in 1996, United's black, red, and white colors are iconic. The club's early years defined MLS, as they won three of the league's first four championships (1996, 1997, 1999) and the 1998 CONCACAF Champions' Cup behind legendary figures like Marco Etcheverry, John Harkes, and Bruce Arena. This era established United as the league's first dynasty. After a period of transition, the modern era has seen the club rebuild around new stars, though they continue to seek a return to the championship heights of their past. The team culture is steeped in tradition, supported by the iconic Barra Brava and Screaming Eagles supporters' groups who create an electric atmosphere. DC United remains a pillar of American soccer with a legacy of excellence.
