Real Salt Lake are a Major League Soccer club founded in 2004.
History
RSL became an expansion team in the Western Conference the following year, with their name being chosen in homage to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
After taking some time to find their feet in the league, they became a force in MLS in 2009, winning their first MLS Cup that year and establishing a 29-game unbeaten streak at home that would last until 2011.
In 2013, RSL were on the verge of an MLS Cup and US Open Cup double, but were losing finalists in both competitions.
