Colunbus snapshot

Under head coach Wilfried Nancy, the Columbus Crew have been one of the best teams in MLS, not just in the last few years but in the history of the league. Playing an incredibly attractive and open style of play, the Crew won MLS Cup in 2023, Leagues Cup in 2024, and fell in the Concacaf Champions Cup in 2024 after their squad fell ill with a stomach bug.
