Earlier today, Sounders FC forward Clint Dempsey announced his retirement from professional soccer, concluding a historic 15-year career that saw him play for the New England Revolution, Fulham FC, Tottenham Hotspur and Sounders FC, in addition to the U.S. Men’s National Team.
Arguably the most accomplished player in the history of U.S. soccer, Dempsey is to be honored this Sunday, September 1, in a pre-match ceremony before Sounders FC takes on Sporting Kansas City in a 1:00 p.m. PT match (Univision Deportes Network, JOEtv, Twitter, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM).
Media wishing to attend Saturday’s match who are not yet credentialed should contact Matt Winter (MattW@SoundersFC.
