Kings' Cup (United States) (original) (raw)
The Kings' Cup was a rivalry between Lou City and Saint Louis FC, members of the USL Championship. Both teams joined the second-tier league (then known as the United Soccer League) in 2015. Like the cities of both clubs, the rivalry takes its name from King Louis of France, (though not the same one - Louisville is named after Louis XVI while St. Louis after Louis IX,) which also explains the presence of the fleur-de-lis in both city flags and both teams' crests. While both teams are currently members of the USLC Eastern Conference, Saint Louis has often been a member of the USLC Western Conference instead, due to its presence near the very center of the country.

| dbo:abstract | The Kings' Cup was a rivalry between Lou City and Saint Louis FC, members of the USL Championship. Both teams joined the second-tier league (then known as the United Soccer League) in 2015. Like the cities of both clubs, the rivalry takes its name from King Louis of France, (though not the same one - Louisville is named after Louis XVI while St. Louis after Louis IX,) which also explains the presence of the fleur-de-lis in both city flags and both teams' crests. While both teams are currently members of the USLC Eastern Conference, Saint Louis has often been a member of the USLC Western Conference instead, due to its presence near the very center of the country. The rivalry officially began in both clubs' inaugural match as STLFC traveled to Louisville for their opening match in the 2015 USL season. LouCity won the match 2-0, setting the tone for the rivalry, with STLFC only winning twice as of July 18th, 2020, and only earning one USL Playoffs appearance against LouCity's two USL titles. Their second match a month and a half later in St. Louis cemented the rivalry status with a 3-3 shootout that included eight yellow cards. Due to financial challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and the upcoming creation of St. Louis City SC in Major League Soccer, STLFC folded after the 2020 season. Their final game was the only Kings' Cup playoff match, won by LouCity by the same 2-0 scoreline as the very first match in Louisville. A renewal of the rivalry is imminent, with St Louis City SC's reserve team beginning play in 2022 with the Division 3 league MLS Next Pro. The two clubs will face off in a pre-season match on March 5, 2022 in St. Louis. Future preseason or U.S. Open Cup matches between St Louis City SC and Louisville City FC are expected. (en) |
