Here is a comprehensive summary of the Philadelphia Union:

The Philadelphia Union are a professional soccer club based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, competing in Major League Soccer (MLS) as a member of the Eastern Conference. Founded on February 28, 2008, the team began play in 2010 as an expansion club, and their home games are held at Subaru Park, a soccer-specific stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania. The club is owned by Keystone Sports & Entertainment, with Jay Sugarman as majority owner and chairman, and NBA star Kevin Durant serving as a minority owner. The Union have been consistent contenders, finishing as runners-up in the U.S. Open Cup in 2014, 2015, and 2018, and reaching the MLS Cup final in 2022, before securing the Supporters' Shield in 2025 for the second time in club history. Notably, the team's creation was driven by the passionate Sons of Ben supporter group, which formed in 2007 to demonstrate fan demand, filling a void left by the region's absence from MLS since its 1996 launch despite being a top-five media market.
