The Columbus Crew is an American professional soccer club based in Columbus, Ohio. The Crew competes in Major League Soccer as a member of the league's Eastern Conference and began play in 1996 as one of the 10 charter clubs of the league. The 2022 campaign is the Columbus Crew’s 27th season in MLS as well as the Club’s inaugural season at Lower.com Field. The 2022 season will also see the launch of Crew 2, a member of MLS NEXT. This club will play at Historic Crew Stadium, MLS’s first soccer specific stadium.
The team has collected impressive hardware over the seasons, including a U.S Open Cup Trophy in 2002, and the MLS Cup in 2008 and most recently in 2020. In 2020, The Columbus Crew beat the Seattle Sounders 3-0 to win their second-ever MLS Cup, becoming one of seven teams to win multiple MLS championships. In 2021, the Crew secured the Campeones Cup title, as the reigning MLS champions squared off against Mexico’s Liga MX side Cruz Azul for a trophy.
Lower.com Field, the Crew’s new home that opened in July of 2021, is a state-of-the-art facility that seats more than 20,000 spectators, holds 30 suites, and 1900 club seats.
