Sporting KC convenes at Children's Mercy Park ahead of 2018 preseason

For Sporting Kansas City players and coaches, the 2018 season is well and truly underway.

Three months removed from a successful 2017 campaign that saw the club hoist the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Manager Peter Vermes’ men convened Saturday to speak with local media at Children’s Mercy Park.

Saturday’s media session marked the first time Sporting KC had gathered as a team this year, and for the likes of Designated Player Yohan Croizet and recently acquired forward Khiry Shelton, it was an opportunity to meet new teammates ahead of a month-long preseason that begins Monday in Arizona.
