New York Red Bulls
From the MetroStars to Red Bull and through every rebrand, relocation rumor, and agonizing playoff exit, the New York Red Bulls remain MLS's original New York franchise - a club with a gorgeous arena, a relentless pressing style, and the maddening inability to turn regular-season dominance into a championship.
Current Leadership
Owner
Red Bull GmbH, the Austrian energy drink conglomerate, purchased the MetroStars in 2006 and rebranded the franchise as the New York Red Bulls. Red Bull built Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, one of the finest soccer-specific stadiums in MLS. The club operates as part of Red Bull's global soccer network, which includes RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, and Red Bull Bragantino.
