Atlanta United FC History

Atlanta United has gone from being one of the newest teams in Major League Soccer to its most supported. Since it joined the league in 2017, the club has led MLS in attendance each year and owns over half of the Top 10 most attended matches in MLS history. Awarded a franchise on April 16, 2014, Atlanta United is owned by Arthur M. Blank and led by club President Darren Eales. The club's opening season in 2017 coincided with the opening of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Originally managed by Gerardo "Tata" Martino, who led the national teams of Paraguay and Argentina, as well as FC Barcelona, before joining Atlanta in 2016, Atlanta United made the postseason in each of its first two seasons and won the 2018 MLS Cup. After winning the title, Martino took the Mexico National Team job, but left MLS with the highest winning percentage (.647) by a head coach in league history. The club then hired Frank de Boer, who led the club to two trophies: the 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2019 Campeones Cup, the latter of which Atlanta United became the first MLS club to win after it defeated Mexico's Club América.

In August 2021, Atlanta United announced Gonzalo Pineda as its new head coach. Pineda came from Seattle Sounders FC where he was a member of the coaching staff for five seasons. Under Pineda, Atlanta has qualified for the playoffs twice, in 2021 and 2023.

Atlanta United FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Atlanta United competes at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which opened in 2017. Mercedes-Benz Stadium hosted the MLS Cup in 2018, Super Bowl LIII in 2019, the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship game, the 2018 MLS All-Star Game and is also the home stadium of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, the SEC Football Championship, the Peach Bowl and the Celebration Bowl.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium has retractable seating in order to accommodate an MLS pitch as well as a retractable roof. The stadium can seat 42,500 fans for most MLS matches and can expand to 72,000 for playoff matches and other important games. The club broke the record for the highest-attended single game in MLS history seven times in its first two seasons and currently owns eight of the Top 10 most attended regular season matches in MLS history. A standing-room-only crowd of 73,019 packed Mercedes-Benz Stadium on December 8, 2018, when Atlanta beat the Portland Timbers, 2-0, to win the MLS Cup, giving the city its first major sports championship since the MLB’s Atlanta Braves won the 1995 World Series.
