New York City FC Tickets

New York City FC Tickets

Just one team is never enough for NYC – that’s why baseball, football, basketball, and hockey all have at least two pro franchises in the city. As it turns out, soccer is no exception. In 2015, New York City Football Club officially joined the league, following the New York Red Bulls, as the second MLS club in the New York City metro area.

The Spanish King

One of the first players to sign with NYCFC was Spanish striker David Villa. After years of scoring goals for the likes of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and the Spanish National Team, Villa joined NYCFC in hopes of helping to grow the MLS. At the same time, he gave New York City FC instant credibility and a bonafide star, two rare commodities for expansion clubs.

For the first four seasons of NYCFC history, Villa led the team as both captain and their leading scorer. After a rough first season, the Bronx Blues finishes in the top three in the Eastern Conference in three straight seasons, advancing to the Conference Semifinals of the MLS Playoffs and seeing far more success than almost any other MLS expansion team.

But A Tale of Bitterness

As the second team in New York City, it was only natural for NYCFC to form a bitter rivalry with their counterparts across town, the New York Red Bulls. There was immediate disdain between the two clubs the first time they played in what’s dubbed the Hudson River Derby. In almost no time, the rivalry between New York City FC and the Red Bulls became one of the most intense in MLS.
