The Seattle Sounders Football Club (FC) is Major League Soccer's 15th team. The team touts "Democracy in Sports." Fans voted on the team name and each season ticket holder has a say in the direction of the franchise, including the future of the team's General Manager. Actor/comedian Drew Carey and movie producer Joe Roth, the former head of Disney and Fox Studios, are both part owners of the team. The Sounders FC have sold more season tickets than any other team in MLS's 13-year history. The team is also the only MLS franchise to have its own marching band.
The XBOX Pitch at Qwest Field is the official home of the Seattle Sounders FC. The stadium has a seating capacity of 27,700 for MLS games, with a roof covering 70 percent of the seating area, and features seating close to the field. Qwest Field is also the home field of NFL's Seattle Seahawks.
The 2009 season standouts include forwards Fredy Montero and Nate Jaqua as well as midfielder Steve Zakuani. Colombian-born Montero, who was signed on loan by the Sounders FC, scored 12 goals and had seven assists during the 2009 season. Jaqua had nine goals and seven assists in 2009. Jaqua joined the Sounders FC in 2008 when he was selected from Houston in the Expansion Draft. Jacqua played for Houston (MLS, 2008), Rheindorf Altach (Austria, 2007-08), Houston (MLS, 2007), Los Angeles (MLS, 2007), Chicago (MLS, 2003-06). He is the top MLS career scorer for the Founders FC, with 32 goals and 17 assists in 6 regular seasons.
The 2009 rookie Zakuani ended the season with four goals and four assists. Zakuani, whose hometown is London, England, was selected by the Sounders FC with the first overall pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. Highlights of Zakuani's career include leading NCAA Division I in scoring with 20 goals in 2008, Soccer America 2008 Player of the Year, and Hermann Award finalist.
The Sounders FC kicked off their pre-season schedule on February 11 with a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. They went on to lose to Rosenburg BC by a score of 0-3. A 2-1 win against Spain's Stabaek IF followed on February 21. On February 25, the Sounders FC landed another win by a score of 1-0 against SK Brann.
