History

[edit]

Foundation

[edit]

In early 2006, Major League Soccer had an interest in placing a second team in theNew York Cityarea. This followed the expiry of MetroStars' exclusive territorial rights as a condition of the club's sale toRed Bull GmbHand the creation ofNew York Red Bulls.[23]By 2007, the league had held talks with several groups, includingNew York MetsownerFred Wilponand his family, about owning the second New York franchise.[24][25]The Wilpons' interest in MLS reportedly faded following the family's losses in theMadoff investment scandal,but the league continued to look for investors.[26][27]

In 2010, MLS commissionerDon Garberofficially announced the league's intent to make its 20th franchise a second team in the New York area. At that point, the league hoped to have the new team beginning operations by 2013.[25]Garber also held discussions with the owners of the rebootedNew York Cosmos,but they balked at the league's expansion fee and single-entity structure and decided not to apply for entry, instead joining the second-tierNorth American Soccer League.[28][29][30]

Garber had previously cultivated an interest in acquiring investment from a major European soccer club to be owners of a future franchise, and in December 2008, he announced a bid for aMiami expansion teamled byBarcelona.The team was to begin play in 2010 if accepted, however, the bid eventually fell through.[31][32]Garber also briefly discussed Barcelona investing in a New York franchise, before moving the focus toMiami.[33]

In 2012,Ferran Soriano,Barcelona's vice president at the time of the Miami bid, was appointedManchester CityCEO, prompting Garber to reach out to him about a New York City team.[33]In December 2012, unnamed sources told the media that Manchester City were close to being announced as the new owners of the 20th team of MLS, and the brand name "New York City Football Club" was trademarked, although the club quickly denied the report.[34]However, Garber announced in March 2013 that he was almost ready to unveil the new expansion team.[35]

Manchester City, in association with theNew York Yankeesbaseball team, paid the $100 million expansion fee to join the league.[36][37]New York City Football Club, LLC was also registered with the New York State Department on May 7, 2013,[38]and on May 21, the team was officially announced as the 20th Major League Soccer franchise.[39]

On May 22, 2013, the club named formerUnited Statesand Manchester City midfielderClaudio Reynaas its director of football operations, responsible for coaching staff and player recruitment ahead of the team's inaugural MLS season in 2015.[40]Reyna, aNew Jerseynative, also played for the nearbyNew York Red Bulls.He said he had begun identifying candidates to be the club's head coach, but would not name one in 2013.[41]The team announced an English-language radio deal withWFANon October 3, 2013.[42]

The club made their first recruitment dealing in off-field matters on September 6, 2013, when they hired formerRutgers UniversityAthletic DirectorTim Pernettito serve as Chief Business Officer, part of a five-year deal with the university.[43]Further hirings were made in mid-November, when three experienced administrators were appointed to vice president roles.[44]

On December 11, 2013,Jason Kreiswas announced as the first head coach of the new franchise, having reached the end of his contract atReal Salt Lakeand declined an extension.[45]The move came just four days after he missed out on lifting his secondMLS Cupwith theUtahteam, losing on penalties toSporting Kansas City.It was revealed in the announcement that his contract, starting on January 1, 2014, would see him begin by traveling toManchester,England, to familiarize himself with the set-up of the franchise owners.[45]Kreis' official unveiling was made at a press conference on January 10, 2014, where he made it public that his former assistantMiles Josephhad joined him at the club.[46]

On June 2, 2014, the club announced that SpanishWorld Cup-winning strikerDavid Villahad signed as the first player.[47]While the team awaited its MLS start in 2015, Villa was loaned toMelbourne City,a club also owned byCity Football Group.He was, however, called back after only four matches.[48]On July 24, 2014, New York City announced at a live press conference inBrooklynthat ex-England international andChelseaall-time top goal scorerFrank Lampardwould be joining them as their secondDesignated Player.Reyna hailed Lampard as "one of the greatest players in world history", while Lampard stated "it is a privilege to be able to help make history here in New York City".[49][50]On July 6, 2015, the club signed ex-Italian internationalAndrea PirlofromJuventusas their third Designated Player.[51]

In the2015 MLS SuperDraft,as an expansion team, New York City had the second overall pick, choosingOregon StateforwardKhiry Sheltonas their first pick.[52]

An up-and-down pre-season saw them dominate their firstexhibition match,played against Scotland'sSt Mirren,with Villa scoring the club's first goal in a regulated match,[53]while in theCarolina Challenge Cup,they finished second out of four teams after a slow start ruled out their chances of picking up the non-competitive silverware. Their first league game was played on March 8 against fellow expansion sideOrlando City SC,withMix Diskerudscoring their first competitive goal in a game which finished 1–1 in front of a packedCitrus Bowlstadium.[54]A week later in their first home game, Villa andPatrick Mullinsscored in their first home win against New England Revolution in front of a crowd of 43,507.[55][56]The team eventually suffered an eleven-game winless streak which ended on June 16, after defeating thePhiladelphia Union2–1.[57]

New York City faced theNew York Cosmosin the fourth round of the2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup,and were eliminated on penalties after playing overtime.[58]The team finished 8th in the Eastern Conference, 17th overall. After the season ended, Kreis was relieved from his head coaching duties on November 2. The team's failure to make the playoffs and the team's second lowest points in the league, were the main factors in his release.[59]A week later,Patrick Vieirawas announced as the new head coach of the team.[60]

Patrick Vieirawas the second head coach

Under Vieira's stewardship, the club had a remarkable season in 2016. The club began pre-season trading forJack Harrison,the first overall pick in the2016 MLS SuperDraft.Harrison made an immediate impact and became a core component of the club in his first year with the team, forming a formidable partnership with Villa. Villa also regained his striking form, eventually becoming the recipient of the league'sMVP Awardafter scoring 23 goals.[61]New York City qualified for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, eventually losing toTorontoin a two-game series in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Following the season's conclusion, the club parted ways with Lampard, who had become injury prone during his time with the club.[62]2017 saw a similar season, with the club replacing Lampard with the arrival of Argentine midfielderMaximiliano Moralezas their new, third Designated Player, whileAlexander Ringjoined fromKaiserslautern,the pair soon becoming stalwarts in midfield.[63]The club, however, became runners-up for the2017 Supporters' Shield,finishing the regular season with a record of 16–9–9, as well as a record points total of 57. The club again, however, were once again eliminated from the playoffs in the conference semi-finals, losing to the fifth seededColumbus Crewby a 4–3 goal aggregate.[64]

New York City had then utilized the following off-season in order to undertake an aggressive overhaul of the squad, with ten senior players departing, including perceived startersMikey Lopez,R. J. Allen,Frédéric Brillant,andEthan White.Designated PlayerAndrea Pirloalso departed, announcing his retirement prior to the club's final playoff game against Columbus Crew. He was then replaced with the addition ofParaguayaninternationalJesus Medinaon New Year's Eve, as New York City's third Designated Player. The club further began upon replacing other departing players with the promotions of bothJonathan Lewis,the third-overall pick in the2017 MLS SuperDraft,andJames Sands,the club's firstHomegrown Player.[65]Sands also grew up in the nearby city ofRye, New York.Soon after, 2016's Defensive Player of the Year,Rónald Matarrita,extended his contract to remain with the club beyond the 2018 season.[66][67]The club then made its first acquisition on December 13, with the signing of defenderAnton Tinnerholm,who joined fromAllsvenskanchampionsMalmö.[68]Tinnerholm, aSwedishinternational, is typically deployed as aright-back.The team then acquired another right-back in the form ofSaad Abdul-Salaamin a trade withSporting Kansas City,trading former second overall pickKhiry Shelton,largely considered abust,on December 14.[69]The club then rounded out the roster with a trio of internationals, as strikerJo Inge Berget,central defenderCédric Hountondji,and speedsterIsmael Tajouri-Shradiall joined the team.[70][71][72]Brad Stuverwas also acquired in a trade with Columbus, in order to provide cover as third-choice goalkeeper.[73]Finally, Ghanaian internationalEbenezer Oforijoined on loan fromBundesligasideVfB Stuttgart,while the club selected goalkeeper Jeff Caldwell with the nineteenth overall pick in the2018 MLS SuperDraft,as they began the season in search of aMLS Cup.[74][75]The team also conducted business through the season, as they signedSebastien Ibeagha,a defender who last played for affiliate clubSan Antonio,after he impressed following a trial.[76]

David Villais the club's all-time top goalscorer.

Midway through the season, however, Vieira would depart the club to return to France, in order to coach atLigue 1clubNice.His tenure saw the team adopt a free-flowing, attacking,press-basedsystem, which gained both the team and coach several plaudits from experts, players, and fellow coaches.[77][78][79][80]He departed alongside his band of assistant coaches: Christian Lattanzio, Kristian Wilson and Matt Cook.[81]Vieira was then quickly replaced by Domènec Torrent,Pep Guardiola's long-term assistant coach.[82]Torrent was successful in his first game, securing a 2–1 win at home against Toronto on June 24. The club then added to their roster during the season, with free agentEloijoining as Torrent's first signing, who arrived from sister clubGironaon July 25.[83]The team then concluded a loan deal for youth prospectValentín Castellanostwo days later.[84]Castellanos would score on his debut on August 4. Despite this, Torrent's bright start would eventually fade, and he could only register an additional six victories to close the season, including a period of one win in two months. New York City would eventually qualify for the playoffs as the third seed in the Eastern Conference, but again, were defeated in the second round to conclude the 2018 season. Individually, Moralez shone, and was voted anAll-Starfor his performances.[85]

The club then underwent another period of transition in the off-season, with several players' options declined on November 29, including cult-heroTommy McNamara,recent signings Ofori and Eloi, and first team regularsMaxime ChanotandRodney Wallace.[86]Moreover, Berget's contract with the club was mutually terminated, after just a single season.[87]The club also parted ways with record appearance maker and goalscorer Villa—who had been voted into theMLS Best XItwice and was a four-timeMLS All-Starin his four seasons with New York—who joinedJ-LeaguesideVissel Kobe.Alexander Ring was named the club's second captain after Villa's departure.[88]Later, an option to buy was exercised in Castellanos' loan deal to make his transfer permanent.[89][90]Chanot was eventually resigned to a multi-year contract on December 8, while Ofori's loan was extended for another season.[91][92]New York City made their first acquisition,Tony Rocha,just under a week later in a trade withOrlando City SC,whereby the team parted with a fourth-round pick in the2019 MLS SuperDraft.[93]The club later loaned in U.S. internationalKeaton Parksin January, who joined from Portuguese sideBenfica,[94]whileJuan Pablo Torresjoined fromBelgian Pro LeaguesideLokeren.[95]Meanwhile, Justin Haak was promoted to the senior team as the club's second Homegrown Player. Hountondji was later waived in order to clear a roster spot for the club's 12th overall draft pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft, goalkeeper Luis Barraza.[96]New York City then signed Romanian internationalAlexandru Mitrițăas the club's third Designated Player on February 4, for a rumored club-record transfer fee ofUS$9.1 million, making him also one of the most expensive transfers in MLS history.[97][98]The club later signed Brazilian forwardHéberon March 21, and in June, signed Scottish forwardGary Mackay-Stevenon a free transfer fromAberdeen.

Mid-season, the club traded for defenderEric MillerfromMinnesota United FCon July 29, for $50,000 in generalallocation money.[99]Despite these roster changes, the team again failed in the playoffs, falling to previousMLS CupchampionsToronto,despite the club finishing atop the regular season standings in Eastern Conference for the first time.[100]Following this, the club "mutually parted ways" with head coach Torrent.[101]The club announced its end of season awards on November 12, with Chanot receiving Defensive Player of the Year,[102]while Héber won Newcomer of the Year.[103]Moralez again shone in New York for a second successive season, being voted into the 2019MLS Best XI.

At the start of the off-season, the team oversaw a number of departures; veteran defenderBen Sweatleft after being selected by upstart MLS clubInter Miami CFas their first overall pick in the2019 MLS Expansion Draft,while Sporting DirectorClaudio Reynaalso left the club, joining expansion sideAustin.Reyna was replaced by the in-house promotion of Technical Director David Lee, who assumed the role as Sporting Director.[104]Moreover, the club also announced Homegrown PlayerJoe Scallywould depart to joinBundesligaclubBorussia Mönchengladbach,effective January 1, 2021. The official transfer fee was undisclosed, although, multiple reports suggested the fee is to be a seven-figure sum that could rise to become one of the highest transfer fees received for a player in MLS history.[105]Soon thereafter, Parks' loan was made permanent,[106]while the club completed the acquisition ofGedion Zelalemon a free transfer.[107]On January 28, 2020, New York City signed Icelandic midfielderGuðmundur Þórarinssonfrom Swedish clubNorrköping,and the club announced the appointment ofRonny Deilaas the new head coach; Deila signed a three-year contract.[108]

New York City began the 2020 season with their debut in theCONCACAF Champions League,and advanced to thequarter finalsafter defeating Costa Rican outfitSan Carlos6–3 over two legs. The club then began the2020 MLS seasonwith a defeat, losing 1–0 away againstColumbus Crew.New York City subsequently announced the signing of Uruguayan midfielderNicolás AcevedofromLiverpool Montevideoon March 2, 2020.[109]After the season was suspended due to theCOVID-19 pandemic,New York City returned to play in July in theMLS is Back Tournament,where they placed third in Group A, progressing to the quarter-finals before falling to eventual championsPortland Timbers3–1.[110]They finished at the same stage of the CONCACAF Champions League, losing to Mexican sideUANL.In the regular season, New York City also failed to see significant success, finishing fifth in the Eastern Conference and losing to Orlando City in the first round of the playoffs.[111]

After a start to the season that saw the club slightly struggle while playing multiple home games atRed Bull Arenain New Jersey, the team was sitting in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings at the end of August after a 2–0 win over the eventual Supporters Shield winnersNew England Revolution.The team struggled through September and the beginning of October, winning one game in nine and drawing three others. This included a draw and two losses to the New York Red Bulls and a five-game stretch where the club did not score a goal. As the pressure began to rise on the squad and manager,Ronny Deila,unlikely heroGuðmundur Þórarinssonbroke the club's scoreless streak in the 90th minute of a 1–1 draw against Atlanta.[126]The team went on to win the next three games and scrape a draw with 10 men against Philadelphia in the season finale, clawing their way from being temporarily out of the playoffs in mid-October into fourth place going into the playoffs.Valentín Castellanosfinished the season as theMLS Golden Bootwinner with 19 goals and eight assists.[127]

Colors and badge

[edit]

The badge used at the launch of the club

With the team announced in 2013, almost two years before it was due to play its first competitive game in 2015, the board of the nascent New York club announced their intention to take their time in building the club, and at the team's launch ceremony did not unveil colors or a badge, instead only using a placeholder image of a blue circle with "New York City FC" written within.

Although club chairmanFerran Sorianoemphasized the desire to create a club with its own identity, rather than relying entirely on the brands of club ownersManchester Cityand theNew York Yankees,the online presence that the club kept up across its own website and on various social networking websites maintained a consistent approach of using the sky blue of the Manchester club and the navy blue of theMLBteam, along with the white employed by both owner-clubs.[135]With the soccer side running the operations of New York City, however, the vast majority of journalistic reporting and speculation assumed that the club's color-scheme would eventually be revealed as a reflection of, if not a copy of Manchester City's sky blue kits with white trim,[136][137]with Director of Football OperationsClaudio Reynasaying at the press conference announcing his appointment that he was "excited to again wear City's ‘Sky Blue’ as part of the expansion of the MLS".[40][138]

Having allowed the speculation and amateur designs to build interest in the club for almost nine months, on February 4, 2014, it was announced that the selection of an official club badge was to be forthcoming, with the club planning to release two designs for the crest in two different styles, which would then be put to a public vote to select the chosen design.[139]In the meantime, New York City's official website announced a "Badge of Badges" campaign, inviting all to create their own crests on a hosted badge-designer page, with every entry ultimately to be incorporated into a mosaic of the badge when a final design was selected, the mosaic to be available both online and in physical form at the club's training ground once built.[140]

Although March 3 was originally set as the release date for the two proposed logos, the vote was pushed back as the Yankees vetoed one of the potential crests for infringing their own trademark.[141]The two badge options were revealed on March 10, both designed by then-NYCFC staff designerMatthew Wolffaround a monogram created by Rafael Esquer, the designer of theMade in NYmark.[142]At that time, the club's official color scheme of navy blue, sky blue and orange was also announced. The orange is an homage tothe city's Dutch heritage,and is the same shade found inthe city's flag.[143]Fans were given three days to vote on the final design, and the winner was announced on March 20.[144][145]

The shape of the NYCFC badge is intended to evoke aNew York City Subwaytoken. It features the club name around the outside inGotham,a common typeface seen around the city.[142]The design would go on to inspire badges for other clubs owned by City Football Group:Melbourne City FC,Manchester City FC,[142]Montevideo City Torque,Mumbai City FC,Girona FC,andShenzhen Peng City F.C..

On March 5, 2024, the club announced what it termed a "refreshed" visual identity, with a new custom typeface for promotional materials. The badge was unchanged except for slightly altered team colors, a darker shade of navy and brighter shade of light blue.[146]

Kits

[edit]

At an event atHell's Kitchenin Manhattan on November 13, 2014, thousands of fans and media were on hand to see New York City unveil its inaugural jersey.[147][148]The away jersey was revealed on November 24, a black shirt with sky blue and orange trim and five reflective black stripes to represent the five boroughs of the city.[149]

For the club's second season, a new away uniform was unveiled, featuring shirt, shorts and socks all of navy blue trimmed in orange. The shirt was dominated by lighter-blue concentric circles radiating out from the logo that "celebrate the energy of New York City".[150]The home uniform remained virtually unchanged, with sky blue socks substituting for the white.[151]On January 7, 2017, the club unveiled its second-ever home uniform, pairing the sky blue shirt with navy blue shorts. A smallNew York City flagis on the front of the shirt.[152]The club's third away uniform was unveiled on February 7, 2018. The kit is primarily gray with sky blue details, "inspired by the concrete jungle that is the Big Apple".[153][154]

Broadcasting

[edit]

In one of the club's first announcements on October 3, 2013 – before announcing where the team would play and before any players had been signed – New York City signed an agreement withWFANto broadcast English-language radio commentary to the New York area for club games and also serves as the flagship station of the 'New York City FC Radio Network', powered byCBS.[42]A year later, on December 18, 2014, the club announced that it was following up its radio deal with an agreement with theYES Networkto televise all home and away games.[161]On top of the YES broadcasting rights, the deal included free streaming of all games across the internet via theFox Sports Gowebsite.[161]With club co-owners theNew York Yankeesalso part-owners of YES, the deals were of little surprise, with even Yankees presidentRandy Levineopenly speculating on the possibility within days of the club's unveiling.[162]

Games were broadcast on radio by WFAN andWNYMduring the team's first season; the games were available via webstream for the subsequent two seasons. Broadcasts returned to terrestrial radio in 2018, asnoncommercialWNYEbecame the team's flagship audio outlet.[163]In 2019, Spanish-language radio stationWEPNbegan to broadcast New York City games, with play-by-play from announcer Roberto Abramowitz and color commentary from Ariel Judas.[164]

The club currently plays atYankee Stadiuminthe Bronx

On April 21, 2014, the club confirmed that they would play their first season home games at Yankee Stadium, and that plans for a future stadium were in progress.[167]

Before the official team was announced, plans were presented by MLS to build a soccer stadium inFlushing Meadows–Corona ParkinQueens.[168]However, due to opposition to building a stadium on park land as well as objections from theNew York Mets,who play nearby, the site lost favor once the new team was announced. The team came up with an alternate proposal to build the stadium inthe Bronxadjacent toYankee Stadium.[169]In 2015, New York property lawyer Martin Edelman, a member ofManchester City's board of directors, said that New York City had abandoned plans for the Bronx site.[170]On August 17, 2017, the club's architects attended a site visit ofBelmont ParkonLong Islandheld by theEmpire State Development Corporationfor parties interested in developing land adjacent to the racetrack.[171]

Club presidentJon Patricofconfirmed in September 2017 that the franchise "(has) multiple sites under active consideration – some involve public processes and some are private."[172]On September 25, 2017, it was reported that the club would submit a proposal to build a soccer-specific stadium on the 43-acre (17 ha) site at Belmont Park.[173]On December 19, 2017, the site at Belmont Park was selected by the Empire State Development Corporation for theNew York Islanders'new 18,000-seat arena,ending the club's pursuit of a soccer-specific stadium at the site.[174]

On September 23, 2017, New York City played a home match atPratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler FieldinEast Hartford, Connecticut,107 miles (172 km) from the city, due to a scheduling conflict with a rescheduled Yankees game.[175][176]

On October 22, 2017, New York City played their final regular season home match at Queens'Citi Field,home of theNew York Mets,due to another scheduling conflict with a YankeesAmerican League Championship Seriesgame at Yankee Stadium.[177]

In April 2018, new plans for theHarlem River Yardsdevelopment in the south Bronx were revealed, for the land north of theWillis Avenue Bridge;the area would be anchored by the new stadium of 26,000 seats, which would be designed byRafael Viñoly.[178]On April 25, 2018, it was reported by club president Jon Patricof that the club is focusing on other sites more seriously than Harlem Yards. "We submitted something to the State [of New York] as part of a request for expressions of interest," said Patricof about the Harlem River Yards site. "But that's it. That site is not an active site."[179]

In 2020, they usedRed Bull Arenafor two matches of the2020 CONCACAF Champions Leaguedue to both Yankee Stadium and Citi Field undergoing unavoidable winterization procedures at the time.[180]The team would also use the arena again between August and September 2020 after scheduling conflicts at Yankee Stadium prevented the team from using the stadium.[181]The club hosted an additional eight home matches at Red Bull Arena for the 2021 MLS Season due to scheduling conflicts at Yankee Stadium.[182]

In 2022, after NYCFC appeared again for the2022 CONCACAF Champions League,the club later confirmed that neither Yankee Stadium nor Citi Field are approved venues by CONCACAF for the CONCACAF Champions League, meaning that any CCL matches would be required to be played at an CONCACAF approved venue such as Red Bull Arena or at other available CONCACAF approved venue. Both the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals were required to be played outside of the New York City area, with the Round of 16 match played at theBanc of California StadiuminLos Angeles,California due to the close proximity of LA Galaxy's home stadium where they played their first MLS season match, as well as Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Connecticut.[183][184]The club played at Red Bull Arena in April 2022 for the second leg of the semifinals.[185]

In November 2022, New York City and NYCFC came to an agreement to build a25,000 seat stadiuminWillets Point,Queensthat is expected to be completed in 2027.[186]

Culture

[edit]

Supporters

[edit]

New York City's official supporter group,The Third Rail,began to form after the club's announcement in May 2013, when fans met through social media, and through member drives and viewing parties for2014 FIFA World Cupmatches. It had registered 1,600 members before the team's first season.[187]Although the group operates independently from the club, it was recognized as the official supporter group and has received exclusive access to one section in Yankee Stadium. Then-group president Chance Michaels said the name reflected the group's desire to "power NYCFC" the way thethird railpowered theNew York City Subwaysystem.[188]

Before the club began play in March 2015, the club's season-ticket membership had already surpassed 14,000,[189]and by April 2015 season-ticket sales had reached 16,000.[190]In October of that year, the club announced that it had sold 20,000 season tickets for the inaugural season.[191]

On April 29, 2017, NYCSC (New York City Supporters Club) was recognized as the club's second official supporters group.[192][non-primary source needed]On February 13, 2020, NYCFC officially parted ways with NYCSC.[citation needed]

After two years, the club recognized Los Templados #12 as its new second official supporters group on February 11, 2022.[193]

Rivalries

[edit]
Hudson River Derbyplayed at theRed Bull Arenain 2016.
Main article:Hudson River Derby

In May 2015, theNew York metropolitan areaexperienced a genuinelocal derbyin MLS league play for the first time, when New York City played their first game against theNew York Red Bulls.[194][195][196]Although initially regarded as a manufactured rivalry with little of the traditional banter apparent between long-time local rivals,[197]the first meetings between the two clubs displayed an increasing level of animosity between the two sides.[198]The Red Bulls won the first encounter between the two, a league game on May 10, 2015, at Red Bull Arena.[199]A series of brawls between supporters of the two teams occurred before and after matches between the two teams.[200]The contest has been dubbed theHudson River Derbyby supporters.

Outside of their traditional rivalry with the Red Bulls, NYCFC has also developed a rivalry with thePhiladelphia Union,in line with many other New York-Philadelphia rivalries.[201][202][203]Though early fixtures between the two clubs were relatively routine, the rivalry began to develop after New York City controversially eliminated the Union in the2021 Eastern Conference Finalafter the latter lost several players due to MLS's COVID-19 protocols. This rivalry further developed when the two sides faced off again in the2022 Eastern Conference Finalin the following season, with the Union winning the rematch.

Social media campaigns

[edit]

In 2015, MLS hosted a contest between New York City and New York Red Bulls ahead of the Hudson River Derby on June 28. The team with the most votes would have the Empire State Building lit up in their favor. New York City, with over one millionFacebookfollowers, launched the 'WINNYCFC' campaign on the platform and won the contest.[204][205]In the 2016 MLS season, the club started the 'We Are One' campaign on social media, followed by the 'Support Your City' campaign during the playoffs later that year.

Affiliates and club academy

[edit]

TheUSL'sWilmington Hammerheadswere New York City's first affiliate club, announced on January 16, 2015.[212]One year later, both clubs announced a long-term extension to that original agreement.[213]On April 21, 2016, the club also announced that theLong Island Rough Riderswould be their officialPremier Development Leaguepartner beginning with the 2016 season.[214]After the Wilmington Hammerheads dropped to an amateur league following the 2016 season, New York City further announced another affiliation agreement, partnering withSan Antonioon February 9, 2017. Sporting DirectorClaudio Reynacalled the agreement "an important affiliation for NYCFC with an ambitious, forward-thinking club like San Antonio, which shares our drive to grow the game within their own passionate soccer community."[215]

New York City also began building its youth development program in April 2014 by partnering with eight local youth soccer clubs.[216]This foresaw the club formally announcing the creation of an academy in February 2015, beginning with a single team at U-13 and U-14 level.[217]The academy saw its first success in 2017, with the U-16 team winning theGeneration Adidas Cup,becoming the first major silverware earned by New York City in any capacity.[218]
