'''Real Salt Lake''' ('''RSL''') is an American professional [[Association football|soccer]] club based in the [[Salt Lake City metropolitan area]]. The club competes in [[Major League Soccer]] (MLS) as a member of the [[Western Conference (MLS)|Western Conference]]. Founded in 2004, the club began play in [[2005 Major League Soccer season|2005]] as an [[expansion team]].

The club plays its home games at [[America First Field]], a [[soccer-specific stadium]] located in the [[Salt Lake City]] suburb of [[Sandy, Utah]], which they shared with their sister team, [[Utah Royals FC]]. Before moving to America First Field, RSL previously played home games at [[Rice-Eccles Stadium]], located on the campus of the [[University of Utah]], from 2005 to 2007. The team is currently led by head coach [[Pablo Mastroeni]].<ref>{{cite news|author=RSL Communications|title=Real Salt Lake Names Pablo Mastroeni Permanent Head Coach|url=https://www.rsl.com/news/real-salt-lake-names-pablo-mastroeni-permanent-head-coach|publisher=MLS Digital|website=RSL.com|date=December 13, 2021|access-date=January 3, 2022}}</ref>

In domestic soccer, Real Salt Lake won the [[2009 MLS Cup]], and they finished as runners-up in the [[2010 Major League Soccer season|Supporters Shield]] in 2010 and the 2013 editions of both the [[2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup|U.S. Open Cup]] and [[2013 MLS Cup|MLS Cup]]. The club additionally finished runners-up in the [[2010-11 CONCACAF Champions League]], becoming the first American club to do so during the tournament's group stage format. Their fully owned USL affiliate, [[Real Monarchs]], won the [[USL Championship]], the second division in American soccer, in [[2019 USL Championship season|2019]].

== Name ==
The [[Spanish language|Spanish]] title ''[[Real (disambiguation)#In sports|Real]]'' ({{IPA|es|reˈal}}), meaning "royal" in English, has been used since the early 20th century by [[Spain|Spanish]] soccer clubs who have received royal patronage from a reigning [[Monarchy of Spain|monarch]] — most notably [[Real Madrid C.F.|Madrid]], [[Real Zaragoza|Zaragoza]], [[Real Betis|Betis]] and [[Real Sociedad|Sociedad]]. In choosing the name ''Real'' for the Salt Lake-based team, initial owner [[Dave Checketts]] intended to create a brand name that would become well-known for its simplicity, followed [[Major League Soccer#Team names|the European-style naming conventions]] of the league, and would potentially foster a partnership with [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] — admired both because of their successful soccer history and [[Real Madrid Baloncesto|close association with basketball]] (similar to Checketts' own history with [[Utah Jazz|Utah's NBA team]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/21/the-real-story-madrid-to-salt-lake-city|title=The Real Story: Madrid to Salt Lake City|work=The New York Times|date=July 21, 2007|access-date=February 21, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=West|first=Phil|title=How Real Salt Lake got their name and colors|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/04/28/how-real-salt-lake-got-their-name-and-colors|publisher=Major League Soccer|date=April 28, 2016|access-date=May 19, 2016}}</ref>

The new team's name was initially met with mixed feelings, with the name being accused of contrivance.<ref>{{cite news|last=Richins|first=Peter|title=Major League Soccer: Looking for a nickname|url=http://www.sltrib.com/sports/ci_2390640|newspaper=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]]|date=August 6, 2004|access-date=November 19, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cafefutebol.net/2013/11/15/the-absurdity-of-mls-nomenclature/|title=The Absurdity of MLS Nomenclature|access-date=November 2, 2014|archive-date=October 22, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141022222512/http://www.cafefutebol.net/2013/11/15/the-absurdity-of-mls-nomenclature/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Other suggested team names, such as "Highlanders", "Salt Lake SC", or "Union SLC", were initially preferred for the club by locals.

== History ==
{{Main|History of Real Salt Lake}}

=== Early years (2005–2008) ===
[[File:Robbie Russell Real Salt Lake.jpg|upright|thumb|[[Robbie Russell (soccer)|Robbie Russell]] (in red) playing for Real Salt Lake]]
Real Salt Lake became the twelfth MLS team when [[Major League Soccer]] awarded an expansion franchise on July 14, 2004, to SCP Worldwide, headed by [[Dave Checketts]]. [[United States men's national under-17 soccer team|United States U-17's]] coach [[John Ellinger]] was named as the initial manager of the club, with forward [[Jason Kreis]] becoming the club's first player. RSL began play on April 2, 2005, in a match against the [[MetroStars]] at [[Giants Stadium]] that ended as a scoreless draw;<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/03/sports/soccer/03stars.html | work=The New York Times | first=Ron | last=Dicker | title=On a Night Unfit for Scoring, the MetroStars Slog to a tie | date=April 3, 2005}}</ref> Kreis would score the team's first ever goal the following game on the road against the [[LA Galaxy]]. The club's first ever home match, and victory, would occur on April 16 in front of 25,287 fans at [[Rice-Eccles Stadium]], with defender [[Brian Dunseth]] securing a victory over [[Rocky Mountain Cup]] rival [[Colorado Rapids]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700264165/Real-Salt-Lake-Things-have-changed-a-lot-since-05-opener.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100117033659/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700264165/Real-Salt-Lake-Things-have-changed-a-lot-since-05-opener.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 17, 2010|title=Real Salt Lake: Things have changed a lot since '05 opener|author=Dan Rasmussen|date=October 5, 2008|work=DeseretNews.com|access-date=February 21, 2015}}</ref>

However, both the [[2005 Major League Soccer season|2005]] and [[2006 Major League Soccer season|2006 season]]s would prove to be relative disappointments for the club. Despite strong performances from key players Kreis, [[Eddie Pope]], [[Andy Williams (Jamaican footballer)|Andy Williams]], and [[Jeff Cunningham]], RSL would embark on a 10-game losing streak in the former and an 18-game winless run in the latter, finishing each season among the worst teams in the league.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hackett |first=Tom |date=December 9, 2020 |title=Real Salt Lake Trio Honored As Top 25 Greatest Players In MLS History |url=https://kslsports.com/mls/real-salt-lake/real-salt-lake-trio-honored-as-top-25-greatest-players-in-mls-history/448249 |access-date=April 14, 2025 |website=KSL Sports |language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=KSL.com |date=May 23, 2007 |title=RSL Trades Jeff Cunningham to Toronto |url=https://www.ksl.com/article/1258805/rsl-trades-jeff-cunningham-to-toronto |access-date=April 14, 2025 |website=www.ksl.com |language=en}}</ref>

The [[2007 Real Salt Lake season|2007 season]] began with the club making moves for veteran talent to build around, most notably bringing in goalkeeper [[Nick Rimando]] and midfielder [[Kyle Beckerman]] pre-season. However, following continued poor form, Ellinger was fired in May and unexpectedly replaced as head coach by Kreis, who immediately retired as a player to take the role.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/695198790/Tireless-Ellinger-setting-sails.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023165333/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/695198790/Tireless-Ellinger-setting-sails.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 23, 2012|title='Tireless' Ellinger setting sails|author=James Edward|date=August 8, 2007|work=DeseretNews.com|access-date=February 21, 2015}}</ref>

The [[2008 Real Salt Lake season|2008 season]] saw the club begin to achieve successes, finishing with an even record and qualifying for the MLS Playoffs for the first time. The season additionally saw the opening of [[America First Field]], a [[soccer-specific stadium]] for the club in [[Sandy, Utah|Sandy]]. The club advanced past [[Chivas USA]] in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the [[New York Red Bulls]] in the Western Conference final.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/660217534/Winless-RSL-has-coaching-shake-up.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023193027/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/660217534/Winless-RSL-has-coaching-shake-up.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 23, 2012 |title=Winless RSL has coaching shake up |date=September 1, 2011 |work=ESPN |access-date=September 1, 2011}}</ref>

=== MLS and CONCACAF success (2009–2012) ===
The [[2009 Real Salt Lake season|2009 season]] saw the club post a near-perfect home record to propel itself into a playoff-qualification battle, won on the final day against the [[Colorado Rapids]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=2009 Real Salt Lake Stats, All Competitions |url=https://fbref.com/en/squads/f7d86a43/2009/Real-Salt-Lake-Stats |access-date=April 14, 2025 |website=FBref.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705339209/Real-Salt-Lake-Believe-it-RSL-earns-playoff-spot.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091029094157/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705339209/Real-Salt-Lake-Believe-it-RSL-earns-playoff-spot.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 29, 2009|title=Real Salt Lake: Believe it!

As defending champions, RSL proved to have its best season as a club in [[2010 Major League Soccer season|2010]], posting a 25 game unbeaten streak and home and zero losses at home on the way to a second-place finish in the [[MLS Supporters Shield]] standings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realsaltlake.com/news/2010/10/rsl-notes-quotes-rsl-2-0-fcd|title=RSL Notes & Quotes – RSL 2 : 0 FCD|work=Real Salt Lake|access-date=February 21, 2015|archive-date=July 15, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715164817/http://www.realsaltlake.com/news/2010/10/rsl-notes-quotes-rsl-2-0-fcd|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Lewis|first=Michael C.|title=Brazilian's two goals propel RSL over Cruz Azul|url=http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/sports/50502703-77/rsl-azul-cruz-paulo.html.csp|work=The Salt Lake Tribune|date=October 20, 2010|access-date=November 19, 2015}}</ref> Rimando finished as the league's best goalkeeper, with Olave named as [[MLS Defender of the Year]] and newly acquired forward [[Álvaro Saborío]] establishing himself as a primary goal scorer.

The remainder of the [[2011 MLS season|2011 season]] saw an end to the home unbeaten streak at 29 games, but successful re-qualifications to both the playoffs and CONCACAF Champions League. This was followed by a second-place Western Conference finish in [[2012 MLS season|2012]], as well as a group-stage elimination in the [[2012-13 CONCACAF Champions League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/10/23/ccl-recap-herediano-hold-rsl-0-0-dash-ccl-dream|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111041431/http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/10/23/ccl-recap-herediano-hold-rsl-0-0-dash-ccl-dream|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 11, 2012|title=CCL Recap: Herediano hold RSL 0–0, dash CCL dream|work=MLSsoccer.com|access-date=February 21, 2015}}</ref>

Initially born out of a preseason brawl in 2011, the rivalry escalated following the [[2013 MLS Cup]], in which RSL was defeated by Kansas City in penalties.<ref>{{cite web|last=MLSsoccer Staff|title=Hard tackles, hard words, hard-fought: The Real Salt Lake-Sporting KC feud|url=https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2015/08/11/major-league-soccers-most-heated-rivalry-story-behind-real-salt-lake-sporting-kansas|publisher=MLSsoccer.com|date=April 28, 2017|access-date=July 14, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Kamrani|first=Christopher|title=Real Salt Lake: Heated rivalry with Sporting KC still alive and well|url=http://www.sltrib.com/sports/2645032-155/real-salt-lake-heated-rivalry-with|newspaper=The Salt Lake Tribune|date=June 21, 2015|access-date=November 19, 2015}}</ref> Both teams have regularly competed in the Western Conference.

Fans of the club also maintain smaller-scale rivalries with the [[LA Galaxy]], [[Los Angeles FC]], and [[Seattle Sounders FC]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Real Salt Lake eager to renew heat of old antagonism with LA Galaxy

=== Club anthem ===
In 2011, [[Branden Steineckert]], drummer of punk band [[Rancid (band)|Rancid]] and a supporter of Real Salt Lake, composed the song "Believe" in honor of the club. Initially posted on [[YouTube]], the song has since been adopted as the team's official anthem, being sung at the beginning of every home game, at the end of every home game if the result is a win, as well as after all goals scored by RSL.<ref name="believe chant">[http://www.realsaltlake.com/content/chants#believe Real Salt Lake Chants], Retrieved: February 11, 2014</ref>

== Revenue and profitability ==
As Real Salt Lake is a small-market team, one of the team's biggest challenges is bringing in enough revenue to remain competitive.<ref name="sportsbusinessdaily1">{{cite web|last=Botta|first=Christopher|title=MLS club presidents on the season ahead|url=http://m.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/03/04/In-Depth/Presidents.aspx|publisher=Sports Business Daily|date=March 4, 2013|access-date=June 9, 2015|archive-date=December 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222105726/http://m.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/03/04/In-Depth/Presidents.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> Opening Rio Tinto Stadium in October 2008 provided a significant revenue boost to the team. Real Salt Lake went from 4,000 season-ticket holders before October 2008, to 8,750 in 2012, 10,000 in 2013,<ref name="sportsbusinessdaily1" /> and 15,000+ in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Behind the MLS Ambition Rankings: Real Salt Lake|url=https://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2016/03/04/mls-ambition-rankings-real-salt-lake|publisher=SI.com|date=March 4, 2016|access-date=July 14, 2018}}</ref>
