PRIDE MATCH 2018SOUNDERS FC CELEBRATES PRIDE AHEAD OF FOURTH ANNUAL PRIDE MATCH

Sounders FC this week continues to celebrate Pride Month ahead of its fourth annual Pride Match, presented by Starbucks, taking on the Chicago Fire on Sat-urday, June 23 (7:00 p.m. PT / JOEtv, Univision-Seattle, YouTube TV, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM). The club is slated to take part in a variety of activities, all culminating in Pride Match activities and participation in the Seattle Pride Parade the following day on Sunday, June 24.

On Tuesday, June 19 and Wednesday, June 20, Sounders FC staff assisted with meal service at YouthCare’s John Orion Center, recognizing the fact that, among homeless youth and young adults, up to 40% of that population identifies as LGBTQ. Club staff members helped with cooking, serving and cleaning with the orga-nization which works to end youth homelessness and ensure that young people are valued for who they are and are empowered to reach their potential. On Thursday, June 21, the club hosted the Inclusive Athletic Places Seminar for area youth sports coaches. Sponsored by Athlete Ally and led by Athlete Ally Exec-utive Director Hudson Taylor, this free training session focused on helping youth coaches create LGBTQ-inclusive athletic spaces by discussing the obstacles fac-ing the LGBTQ community within sports, practical steps coaches can take to be better allies and providing a clear action plan that coaches can take back to their teams. Sounders FC Head Coach Brian Schmetzer is spoke to the attendees about his support for inclusive sports environments and how he models inclusion for the Rave Green. Friday, June 22 sees Sounders FC raise a giant Pride flag at CenturyLink Field, courtesy of Starbucks, which will fly proudly throughout the weekend as the club heads into matchday on Saturday, June 23. Before the game on Saturday evening, fans can stop by The Ninety for special Pride-themed cupcakes and learn more about Athlete Ally and its mission of pro-viding equal access, opportunity and experience in sports regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. At the stadium, the steps in the North Plaza will be painted to reflect the rainbow colors of Pride, and fans shouldn’t miss an opportunity to take a unique photo there and are encouraged to use #SoundersPride to share their experiences at the game. The club’s Dream Team for the evening is composed of LGBTQ youth from Seattle Girls School and their siblings and other allied students, while the national anthem is set to be performed by former GSBA Scholar Christina Brewer. The match’s game presentation is set to feature Pride flags, team Pride logo banners and includes on-field volunteers from Pride of the Sound, Starbucks Pride Alliance Network and the Greater Seattle Business Alliance. Sounders FC is donating a portion of proceeds from a special ticket offer to benefit the GSBA Schol-arship Fund. Tickets within this offer are still available, and give fans the opportunity to claim an exclusive clear, Pride-themed Sounders FC fanny pack along with their ticket to the match. The Xbox Green Zone, located in the north end of the stadium, plays a special role in the evening’s festivities, as fans seated in those sections will find exclusive giveaway shirts at their seats, provided in part by Uber. When worn, the shirts create a human rainbow across the north end for the entire stadium to see. Uber is also partnering with Sounders FC to give away a number of player-autographed Pride scarves on matchday. Fans should follow the team on social media to learn how to win one of the signed scarves. On the pitch Saturday night, Sounders FC’s captain is set to wear a Pride armband, and the team’s jerseys feature rainbow numbers - a first in team history. These unique jerseys are not available for sale, but fans can enter to win one of four match-worn Sounders FC Pride jerseys at SoundersFC.com/PrideWeek2018. Prior to kickoff, the team honors former United States Women’s National Team goalkeeper Mary Harvey with a Golden Scarf for her contributions to inclusion. Har-vey, who helped lead the USWNT to the 1991 World Cup title and 1996 Olympics, is credited with breaking the glass ceiling at FIFA, where she served as Director of Development from 2003-2008. She is also an active Athlete Ally ambassador and has helped spearhead the 2026 FIFA World Cup United Bid, working to ensure that the North American tournament will be the most diverse and inclusive World Cup to date. Additionally, Sounders FC’s 2018 GSBA Scholar, Fredrick Anex-Schnauss, is to be recognized at halftime with a GSBA Scholarship check presentation. As an-nounced last month, Sounders FC is providing $10,000 per year from 2018-2020 to a selected GSBA Scholar as part of the club’s strong, continuing commitment to supporting the LGBTQ and allied community in the Puget Sound region. Anex-Schnauss was selected as the club’s inaugural scholarship recipient. Following the match, a number of Sounders FC players and staff, as well as the team’s band, Sound Wave, are scheduled to march in the Seattle Pride Parade on Sunday, June 24, celebrating diversity and inclusion with the community.

Un-der Schmetzer, Sounders FC finished the season with an 8-2-4 record and a fourth-place finish, becoming the first team in MLS history to make the MLS Cup Playoffs after

having 20 or fewer points through the first 20 matches of the season. He is the first coach in MLS history to lead his team to the MLS Cup title after assuming the Head Coach position midseason.

In his first full season as Sounders FC’s Head Coach, Schmetzer led Sounders FC to another great season in 2017. After finishing tied atop the Western Con-ference with Portland in the regular season, the Rave Green cruised through the Western Conference playoffs and advanced to the club’s second consecu-tive MLS Cup, this time falling to Toronto FC 2-0 at BMO FIeld.

A longtime Sounders FC assistant and former USL Sounders manager, Schmetzer entered his eighth season as Top Assistant Coach in 2016, a position he retained since December 22, 2008. He is one of the Puget Sound soccer community’s most recognizable and respected figures after playing and coaching for the region’s top professional franchises since 1980.

Schmetzer served seven seasons as the Head Coach of the Sounders’ United Soccer League’s First Division club from 2002-2008 before making the jump to MLS. He guided Seattle to USL-1 championships in 2005 and 2007, and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal advancements in 2007 and 2008.

Schmetzer has 14 years of coaching experience and a 15-year background playing at the professional level. He was a member of six championship teams during that span. In addition to the two USL championships, his teams also twice won the Commissioner’s Cup for the league’s best record (2002, 2007), while also qualifying for the playoffs six of seven years. He was chosen USL-1 Coach of the Year in 2002 after going 23-4-1. The Sounders were league runners-up in 2004. His overall regular season record in the USL era was 100-57-41.

Previously, he was assistant to former United States National Team defender Fernando Clavijo with the Seattle SeaDogs from 1996-1997. Seattle won the Continental Indoor Soccer League title in 1997.

A Seattle native, Schmetzer was coached by his father, Walt, as a youth. His team won seven out of 10 state youth championships. He signed with the Sounders’ North American Soccer League franchise following his graduation from Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School in 1980. He played three seasons as a midfielder for Seattle before going to Tulsa for the final NASL season in 1984.

Schmetzer signed with the San Diego Sockers in 1984 and played seven seasons in the Major Indoor Soccer League with San Diego (1984-1988), Tacoma (1988-1990) and St. Louis (1990-1991). He was a member of San Diego’s MISL cham-pionship teams in 1985, 1986 and 1988. He returned to Seattle for the Sounders’ inaugural A-League season in 1994 before completing his playing career with the SeaDogs from 1995-1996.

In 1985, Schmetzer played on loan to FC Seattle, scoring twice in a 2-1 friendly win over Brazil’s Santos. While with Tacoma and FC Seattle, Schmetzer’s teammates included younger brothers Andy and Walter.

Schmetzer and his wife Kristine have six children between them.

Quotes: Veljko Paunović – Head Coach, Chicago Fire On the importance of the Open Cup: “It is for everyone. For our club, for our ownership, for our fans, for our front office and everyone in our club, we like to say that we are family and everyone is putting in the effort to help the team. I think we are building the culture that is not only a soccer culture, but football culture, you know where I am coming from. We are trying to build something similar while obviously keeping the peculiarities of the culture of the American sport. We want to find the right merge and I think so far it is going good. But, it is very important for our club that we are progressing in this competition, which is very important, but we still know that it is a long way to go. We have to first prepare and recover for our next game in Seattle. Then we have another tough opponent at home in New York City FC. Every game for us is almost like a final. That is how we approached this game and previous games too. I think that is what helps us to keep building the performance and the form of the team. As time goes by, I think the team is getting more mature and getting to know each other better and that helps with all of the veterans that we have with their experience and their input, it is very nice to be the coach of this team today.” On Nemanja Nikolić’s goal: “If you go back last year and see how many goals we scored, out of 61 goals, I believe, how many goals were team play. Again today, it was team play. That is something I think that for the coaches, that is what you want to see. Not only playing on set pieces, on counter attacks, you want to see a team that is playing football. I think today we had some good moments during the 90 minutes where we played and dominated and controlled the game, also we had a tough opponent in front. Every time they took over the possession, it was hard for us to defend, but as I said, the guys gave a huge effort and a great job today. It is very important that we are now starting to see more of what we kind of used to be in the past.”



On using the Open Cup to build cohesion for the MLS season: “Every game is an opportunity to get better and to get the experience that the team needs playing together without taking out the importance of competing. For us, in our environment, it is very important. Learning and competing. Actually learning to compete. That is what we try to teach and try to instill. I think it is getting better. We still have a long way to go. It is an important win for us as a team, but also I think we have to remain humble and keep working towards improvement.” On how the win helps propel the team back into league play: “This win gives you confidence in this competition, but it propels us to any other competition, which for us is very important in MLS. In the MLS regular season, we want to get to the playoffs. I think this helps us. I think the confidence is the most important thing, and the best thing to get the confidence is to win every time you have the opportunity. I think that is going to help us even to prepare for the next game, which is our most important game, Seattle. To recover better, it is not the same when you win and obviously the body heals and recovers much better when you have the burst of adrenaline in your system. I think that is what we achieved today, but we also remain humble. This locker room is very mature and knows that we have to keep working and move forward.” On preparing for an unfamiliar opponent in Louisville: “We will do our jobs. We have to do our jobs as a coaching staff to prepare for the game. For us, it is going to be another MLS game, another World Cup game, call it how you want. For us, every game is a final. We believe in what we are doing and we believe that the most important thing is always giving your best. To give your best, you have to mentalize and prepare for every game the best you can. It is not always easy, and there are a lot of games now at this point of the season that we are playing so many games in a row. We also believe that it is a good opportunity for us to build momentum in Open Cup and in the league.” On the atmosphere of the match: “It’s amazing. We have seen on TV and we had the opportunity to see other opponents play here and it was always tough for them because of the crowd. But not only because of the crowd, but also for officiating. I think the pressure is high here, but I think today, in our case, we did a very good job. Very proud of the effort. We achieved something that many teams did not here. Winning in this beautiful stadium, beautiful venue. That is why I think it is very important. For us, for our club, the tradition of fighting hard for the Open Cup means a lot getting this win today. We will continue building our team. I believe we are slowly getting to the point where we are having the confidence to play the way we played last year and it helps that all of the guys on the team are getting better. I am very happy. As a coach, obviously you want your team to get better and improve and that is what I am seeing now. I just want to encourage our guys to keep working hard and working with quality like they did. It is a process, it takes time and I think today I am especially happy because I saw that proudness in our game and individual players who are understanding the game tactically and are capable of executing.” Nemanja Nikolić – Chicago Fire Forward On his goal: “It was great action. We spoke before the game that we wanted to keep the ball and from that to create space and, of course, to finish the action. It was great action from the whole team, from the behind and after in the finishing from Katai, Bastian and, of course, Solignac. Lucho made that final pass, and for me these kinds of goals like we scored, it was an amazing pass from him, so really important for us and we are in the next round. This is what you want, so we are happy.” On the importance of the win: “It was important an competition for all of us, for our club, for us like players. We are in the next round. We beat two very difficult teams like Columbus and now Atlanta. Of course, we want to build good momentum from this and now we go to play against Seattle. Again away, again difficult opponent, turf, so it will be really difficult for us. We want to build from this and we want to play this style because we show we are really mature and we can beat every opponent here if we are disciplined offensively and defensively also.”



On gaining confidence by scoring goals: “In confidence, I don’t have a problem. Of course, the goals are coming. Maybe not in the numbers like last year, but I scored in all competitions nine goals in 16 games, so I think it is not bad. Everybody needs to make his role in the team, his job. Of course, my job is to score goals and this is what I want to do. But also, defensively I also have some things to do to help the team. Of course, looking forward to the games in the championship and to score also goals there. But the most important, as always, is that the team wins and we are in a better mood than we were in the beginning of the season and we want to grab this opportunity.”
