The Seattle Sounders are heading to the FIFA Club World Cup this summer, and will be the only MLS team to have won a trophy to get to the tournament.
The Rave Green earned their entry to the Club World Cup as the 2022 Concacaf Champions Cup winners, when they beat Pumas UNAM to become only the second MLS team since 2000 to win the continental trophy.
While the two-time MLS Cup winning Sounders are a few years removed from that success, they remain a strong team in the United States and will be up for the challenge of the Club World Cup, hosting all their group games in front of their home supporters.
Also joining them as MLS representatives are Inter Miami CF, who were given their entry in the designated host spot, and LAFC, who fell in the final of the 2023 Champions Cup, but won a playoff against Club América to replace the disqualified Club Léon.
However, it's not all happiness for the Sounders players ahead of the tournament, as they lead the MLS Players' Association's battle with MLS over a fair share of Club World Cup prize money, of which the club has already received $9.55 million simply for qualifying.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Sounders this summer.
