New in 2024, Behind the Shield presented by Audi will be available after every match this season with the video series - produced by Sporting Kansas City's full-time digital storytellers - providing fans with an immersive viewing experience highlighted by exclusive interviews and all-access footage from Sporting Kansas City players, trainings and matchdays.
This week's BTS captures the sights and sounds from the club's 4-2 loss at the LA Galaxy last Saturday while focusing on Father's Day with central defender Dany Rosero as well as club captain Johnny Russell. The six-minute episode can be seen on SportingKC.com, Sporting Kansas City's YouTube channel and MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
"My purpose for living is now greater," said Rosero, whose daughter Abby was born last fall. "She's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I hope she never forgets that. She's my life."
"My kids are the most important thing to me. Everything I do is for them," Russell said. "I want them to be proud and show them that I chased my dream from when I was a kid to encourage them to do the same."
Sporting Kansas City will conclude a stretch of three matches in eight days this Saturday as the team returns to the road to play reigning MLS Cup champions Columbus Crew. Kickoff for the club's first ever match at Lower.com Field is set for 6:40 p.m. CT and the cross-conference clash will be available to watch on Apple TV for MLS Season Pass subscribers.
Radio coverage will air locally on Sports Radio 810 WHB in English and La Grande 1340 AM in Spanish with live audio streams available in the Sporting KC App. In addition, pub partners in the Sporting Pub Network will also show all of the action.
