New York City FC, founded in 2013 as an expansion club backed by City Football Group and the New York Yankees, joined MLS in 2015 with international star power and ambitions to become a league powerhouse. The early years featured Spanish legend David Villa, the club’s first captain and 2016 MLS MVP, whose goal-scoring excellence made him NYCFC’s all-time leading scorer for years. Alongside Villa, Italian maestro Andrea Pirlo and English icon Frank Lampard brought European pedigree, though early playoff exits defined the club’s first seasons. Under coach Dome Torrent and later Ronny Deila, NYCFC developed a possession-based style centered around midfielder Maxi Moralez, striker Valentín Castellanos, and goalkeeper Sean Johnson, culminating in the 2021 MLS Cup championship after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over the Portland Timbers, the club’s first major trophy. Castellanos, the 2021 Golden Boot winner, and Moralez became club legends before departures led to a transitional period with rising stars like Santiago Rodríguez and Gabriel Pereira leading the attack. Plans for NYCFC’s first soccer-specific stadium in Queens, opening in 2027, promise to cement the club’s long-term future as a major MLS force. From Villa’s MVP heroics to the 2021 title and beyond, NYCFC’s history blends international flair, trophy ambitions, and a growing New York soccer culture.
