Winningest Franchises in MLS History: Number 16 – Philadelphia Union

Club Info

Year Founded: February 28th, 2008

Stadium: Talen Energy Stadium

Overall Record: 61-57-82

Championships: None

The Philadelphia Union were added as an expansion club in 2008, making their debut in the 2010 season. It hasn’t been the best of times for the club in recent seasons but they have reached the U.S. Open Cup final twice. Their best season came in 2011 when they finished with a record of 11-8-15 in the regular season. They lost in the conference semifinals that year to record their best finish ever in the playoffs.

Player Info

All-Time Leading Scorers: Sebastian Le Toux (2010-2011;2013-2016) 50 Goals, Jack McInerney (2010-2015) 25 Goals

Most Appearances Made: Sebastian Le Toux (2010-2011;2013-2016) 175 Appearances

The Union didn’t start out with a star-studded squad like some clubs have, but over the years they’ve accumulated some great talent.  Last summer the club signed Swiss midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta, who has become a main part of the Union midfielder. Recently signed Alejandro Bedoya was a recent signing that should help the club continue to grow.

Sebastian Le Toux led the club in goal scoring for multiple seasons, and as a result became their all-time leading goal scorer. Until his recent departure, the Frenchman was a potent goal-scoring threat for the Union. Goalkeeper Zac MacMath had some good performances in net for the club, as he holds the club record in multiple stat categories, including clean sheets and saves made.
