 The
Kansas City Wizards are Kansas City, Missouri's Major League Soccer
(MLS) club. Although early speculation toward the name centered
around the obvious connection with the "Wizard of Oz,"
that was never the intention of the club. Rather, the team wanted
a completely unique name that would create instant awareness for
the team throughout Kansas City, as well as the rest of the United
States. With the "Wiz" moniker, the club created market
awareness. The Wiz name originally came to life following a month-long
campaign in the Kansas City Star, asking fans to submit names for
the new MLS franchise.
The Wizards won the MLS Cup in 2000, and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open
Cup in 2004. The Kansas City Wizards’ home field is Arrowhead
Stadium, which they share with the Kansas City Chiefs.
