New in 2024, Behind the Shield presented by Audi will be available after every match week 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 -- which can be seen on SportingKC.com, Sporting Kansas City's YouTube channel and MLS Season Pass on Apple TV -- takes viewers to La Casa del Padel in Overland Park, where a group of Sporting players both past and present teamed up to open Kansas City's first padel club last month.
"t's a great group of guys involved in it," says club cpatain Johnny Russell, who co-founded the business with Roger Espinoza, Andreu Fontas, Uri Rosell, Daniel Salloi and Graham Zusi (pictured below). "Going from where it began to starting a business with a group of friends, that's probably the thing that I'm most proud of."
After securing a 4-1 victory over Colorado on Wednesday for the club's third straight home win, Sporting Kansas City will host Minnesota United FC at 7:30 p.m. CT on Saturday at Children's Mercy Park. Tickets for the Western Conference clash are available at SeatGeek.com with live broadcasts on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV, Sports Radio 810 WHB and La Grande 1340 AM.
