2024 U.S. Open Cup final
The 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final was a soccer match played on September 25, 2024, between Los Angeles FC and Sporting Kansas City, both from Major League Soccer. It determined the winner of the 109th edition of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The tournament is the oldest cup competition in U.S. soccer, which is open to amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation. The match was won 3–1 in extra time by Los Angeles FC, who earned their first U.S. Open Cup championship.[1] Los Angeles FC hosted the match at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California, and made their debut in a U.S. Open Cup final.[2][3] It was the team's fifth major tournament final; since their MLS Cup 2022 victory, they had lost four consecutive finals across all competitions.[4] Sporting Kansas City had won four previous editions of the U.S. Open Cup and sought to become the first MLS team to earn a fifth Open Cup title.[5] Both finalists qualified for the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup, as Los Angeles FC had already qualified as the 2024 Leagues Cup runners-up.[6] The Dewar Cup was presented by three members of the Los Angeles Kickers, an amateur team that won the 1958 and 1964 editions of the tournament.[7] Los Angeles FC became the fourth team from the Los Angeles area to win the U.S. Open Cup, following the Kickers, Maccabee Los Angeles, and LA Galaxy.[8] MatchSummaryDetails
