Major League Soccer match between Sporting Kansas City and Portland Timbers at Sporting Park, featuring Latino Heritage Night festivities.
Sporting Kansas City take on the Portland Timbers at Sporting Park on Saturday, October 10, with kickoff at 7:30 PM. It's a Major League Soccer matchup between two clubs from opposite ends of the country, and the night is billed as Latino Heritage Night.
If you're heading in early, there's a full pre-game program on the Sporting Plaza Stage. DJ 201 opens with 'Ritmo y Fútbol,' presented by El Jimador, and Aztecas, a folklórico dance group made up of students from Guadalupe Centers Elementary School, perform. There's also a Latino Heritage T-shirt designed by Charlie Hustle available around the stadium for the night.
For a bit of context, Sporting KC is one of MLS's founding clubs. They've won four U.S. Open Cup championships in 2004, 2012, 2015, and 2017, two MLS Cup trophies in 2000 and 2013, and a Supporters' Shield in 2000. Sporting Park is known as one of the most intimidating venues to play in the league, so the home crowd usually makes their presence felt.
