Portland – The Portland Timbers are set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their 2015 MLS Cup victory on July 16, 2025. The Timbers will host Real Salt Lake at Providence Park starting at 7:30 PM PT. This special match will not only commemorate the historic win but also bring together fans and former players for an unforgettable evening.
During the match, a special halftime ceremony will recognize the 2015 MLS Cup-winning team, with several alumni expected to return for the celebration. To enhance the experience, the first 20,000 attendees will receive a commemorative ticket, courtesy of Pacific Office Automation. In addition, a limited edition 10th Anniversary 2015 MLS Cup scarf will be available for those wishing to take home a tangible piece of the celebration.
This commemorative match is part of the Timbers’ larger 50th anniversary season-long celebration, which is presented by Toyota. The Timbers are currently offering tickets for their remaining home matches this season, which are priced at $169 each, and fans can conveniently book via text message.
As the Timbers prepare for this significant celebration, they are also gearing up for their upcoming match against the St. Louis CITY soccer team for Matchday 24 on Sunday Night Soccer. Currently, the Timbers sit in fourth place in the Western Conference with a record of 9 wins, 5 losses, and 6 draws. They are striving to maintain their position as they aim for a playoff spot.
The Timbers previously defeated St. Louis CITY in their last encounter with a score of 2-1. However, St. Louis CITY is facing challenges of its own, with a troubling record of one win, one draw, and four losses in their last five matches, placing them at risk of receiving the Wooden Spoon for the league’s worst performance. Interim manager David Critchley has recently altered the team’s formation to enhance offensive output after the dismissal of the previous head coach.
For the Timbers, head coach Phil Neville is focused on refining the team’s strategy and player combinations to ensure consistent performances amid the ongoing season. However, the team faces a setback with the absence of Jonathan Rodríguez, a key attacking player who will miss the remainder of the season due to successful cartilage restoration surgery on his right knee. Rodríguez’s contributions had been limited this season, with only one goal and one assist in six substitute appearances.
In response to Rodríguez’s absence, the Timbers have adopted a collaborative approach to their attacking strategy. David Da Costa is stepping up, leading the team with 8 assists and 3 goals. Additionally, winger Antony has emerged as a crucial component of the attack, currently boasting 6 goals and 7 assists to his name.
Moreover, the MLS Secondary Transfer Window is set to open from July 24 to August 21, 2025, giving the Timbers an opportunity to strengthen their squad as they continue to navigate the challenges of the season.
Fans of the Timbers are encouraged to mark July 16, 2025, on their calendars as they prepare for a night of celebration, nostalgia, and competitive soccer, commemorating both the 2015 MLS Cup victory and the 50-year legacy of the beloved franchise.
