皇家盐湖城（Real Salt Lake）是位于犹他州,盐湖城的美国职业足球俱乐部，球队2005年起成为美国职业足球大联盟的球队。球队现在的主场是犹他大学内的赖斯-埃克莱斯体育场(Rice-Eccles Stadium)。

球队名字中的real是来自西班牙语的单词，单词含义不同于英语。皇家盐湖城这个名字类似于一些西班牙足球俱乐部的队名，列如:皇家马德里，皇家社会，皇家贝蒂斯。

In the case of the names of soccer clubs, real is used to mean royal. This name is bestowed on a number of clubs that play in Spain's La Liga by the Spanish crown. The Salt Lake City club's owner, Dave Checketts, desired to attach his team to a successful soccer club, Real Madrid, as well as to develop a brand that was clearly associated with 'soccer', leading to the choice of name. The team's uniform and colors were inspired by those of the Spanish national team.

The team's name was initially met with derision and pessimism among the fan community. Many fans thought the name should more accurately reflect the Salt Lake area. Such complaints seem curious, however, being that the Utah Jazz of the NBA does not comply with such a standard. In the past year the criticism from local fans and the media has waned, and the club has instituted a formal relationship with Real Madrid that brings it numerous advantages.

Currently the club has three fan clubs known as The Loyalists, the Rogue Cavaliers Brigade (RCB) and The Jesters.

[编辑] 历史

Their first head coach is John Ellinger, former coach of the Under-17 United States national team and the head of USSF's Bradenton Academy.

Salt Lake City was formerly home to the USL Second Division's Utah Blitzz, who folded about the time Real Salt Lake formed. The Blitzz had won the USLSD's championship in their final year of existence. Blitzz head coach Chris Agnello was hired as an assistant coach for Real Salt Lake, but left after their inaugural season.

In 2005, the Rocky Mountain Cup was created in an effort to create some sort of rivalry right off the bat for the new franchise. The Cup goes to the team that wins the season series between the Colorado Rapids and RSL. The Colorado Rapids claimed the Rocky Mountain Cup in that inaugural season by winning the series 3–1. Even with the added excitement of the Cup competition, RSL's major rival quickly became fellow expansion team C.D. Chivas USA. This was due to the fiercely competitive physical play between the two teams (and perhaps also the fact that they both joined in the same year). On November 17, 2006, XanGo announced a multi-million dollar deal to be advertised on the front of RSL's jersey. Nearly a month later, RSL announced their most high profile acquisition in the club's short history - the signing of the American phenomenon Freddy Adu - as well as the signing of GK Nick Rimando from D.C. United in exchange for Salt Lake's goalie Jay Nolly, a partial draft allocation, future considerations and a draft pick.

In 2005 a soccer-specific stadium for the team was approved for Sandy, a suburb of Salt Lake City. However, funding for the stadium was still hard to come by. A vote in early 2006 struck down a funding proposal for the stadium. However, Tom Dolan, the mayor of Sandy, said that he would not give up on his fight to approve the proposal in Sandy. The funding plan was revised, but was struck down later in 2006 over disagreements in the appropriation of millions of hotel-tax dollars for a financially unproven sports franchise. The proposal for Sandy was declared "dead" by Checketts at that point, putting the team's future in doubt. Dave Checketts said that he wanted the team to remain in Utah, but would sell it if a proposal was not put forward by August 12, 2006. Parties from several cities, including Rochester, New York ^[1] and Saint Louis, Missouri, expressed interest in purchasing the franchise and moving it. Other stadium sites in the area were also proposed, including the Utah State Fairgrounds in Salt Lake, and the tiny town of Vineyard, just west of Provo. Finally, on the very day Checketts had set as a deadline to have a stadium plan in place or decide to sell the team, and after months of up and down discussions with local municipalities, county, and state officials and a change in the funding structure, a tacit agreement between Checkets, Sandy City, and Salt Lake County was put in place, and Real Salt Lake announced that they would move forward with the construction of the Sandy Stadium ^[2]. The groundbreaking, coinciding with the Xango Cup, ReAL's match against international power Real Madrid, took place that afternoon featuring elected leaders, team officials, as well as the entire rosters of both Real Salt Lake and Real Madrid. On August 15, the deal was officially approved by the Salt Lake County Council.^[3]

As of September of the 2006 season, Real Salt Lake and Real Madrid have signed a 10-year co-operative agreement. Among the provisions of the deal are a biennial friendly match between the two teams to take place in Salt Lake City, annual February training for RSL at the Real Madrid practice facility in Spain, and, perhaps most importantly, the creation of a $25 million elite youth acacemy in SLC that will train up to 200 players from ages 12 to 18.^[4] The academy, a co-operative project for which Real Madrid will pay half the cost, will include academic facilities and dormitory housing, arguably becoming the first true soccer "youth system" in MLS, along with the Red Bull Academy effort of Red Bull New York. In this sense, it is part of a growing league-wide trend toward the emphasis of youth development, a trend which has been encouraged by the main office and jump-started by the league's decision to allow individual teams to maintain rights to the products of potential youth development systems.

With Major League Soccer's expansion in 2005, Real Salt Lake became the second team in the Rocky Mountain region and the Colorado Rapids' closest neighbor. The supporters of the two clubs created a competition between the two sides to foster and memorialize this budding rivalry. Colorado won the Rocky Mountain Cup in its inaugural year, 9 points to 3. Colorado successfully defended the Cup in 2006 by a margin of 7 points to 4.
