Starting players before a 2009 Sounders FC match

Seattle Sounders FC is an American soccer club founded in 2008, after the city of Seattle was awarded a Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise. Sounders FC began playing competitive soccer in the 2009 season. It plays its home games at CenturyLink Field, competing in the Western Conference of the MLS.[1] The current Sounders FC is the third soccer team from Seattle to bear the Sounders nickname. The tradition was started by Seattle's North American Soccer League team in 1974, and continued by the city's United Soccer Leagues side, formed in 1994.[2] The current Sounders FC is an entity distinct to both of these clubs, and played its first MLS game on March 19, 2009, against Red Bull New York.[3]

As of October 24, 2010, a total of 32 players have participated in at least one league match for Sounders FC. This consists of twenty-eight outfield players, and four goalkeepers. Goalkeeper Kasey Keller owns the Sounders FC appearance record, having played 59 MLS regular season games for the club.[4] The club's all-time top scorer is Fredy Montero with 22 goals, and his 17 assists is also a Sounders record.[4] Fifteen Sounders FC players have represented their country at full international level. Keller has made the most international appearances (102 for the United States),[5] while Ljungberg has scored the most goals (14 for Sweden).[6]

Players

Major League Soccer clubs are allowed a roster of 30 players at any one time during the MLS season. In its inaugural 2009 season, Sounders FC used a total of nineteen outfield players, as well as three goalkeepers, who are documented in a separate section below. Players who were contracted to the club but never played an MLS game are not listed.

All statistics are for the MLS regular season games only, and are correct as of January 1, 2012.[4][7]

Goalkeepers

Sounders FC captain Kasey Keller

In soccer, the goalkeeper is the only player allowed to defend his team's goal with his hands. Sounders FC's most used goalkeeper is former United States international Kasey Keller, who captained Seattle in their first season of competitive soccer.[23] As of January 2, 2010, Sounders FC's other keepers have only played in the MLS when Keller was unavailable due to suspension.[24]

Freddie Ljungberg has represented the Swedish national team, as well as several European club sides.

MLS regulations permit teams to name eight players from outside of the United States in their rosters. However, this limit can be exceeded by trading international slots with another MLS team, or if one or more of the overseas players is a refugee or has permanent residency rights in the USA.[26] As of January 1, 2012, seventeen players from outside the United States have played in MLS for Seattle Sounders FC.
