the Sporting Kansas City–St. Louis City SC rivalry, also known as the Soccer Capital Derby[ citation needed] and I-70 Derby, is a soccer rivalry between the two Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs based around the state of Missouri, Sporting Kansas City and St. Louis City SC.
Sporting KC began the rivalry with St. Louis City SC, starting with the St. Louis's entrance into the league in the 2023 season. Prior to the first meeting, a St Louis fan podcast, the Soccer Capitol Podcast, became the center of attention and heightening tensions between supporters. A series of emails from Sporting Kansas City's front office arrived in the inbox of the podcast's Gmail account. The club believed the Soccer Capitol Podcast was infringing on the trademark “The Soccer Capital of America,” which was registered to Kansas Training Partners LLC, an affiliate company of Sporting Kansas City. [1] [2] [3][ failed verification] St. Louis City won the first meeting at CityPark in May 2023, but Sporting KC won the second meeting at Children's Mercy Park in September of that year. [4] The two teams played in their first postseason matchup in the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs, [5] with Sporting Kansas City (the #8 seed) upsetting the #1 seeded St. Louis in a best-of-three series. [6]
