Michael Smith was honored as the RSL Season Ticket Member of the Match on Saturday, August 23. A proud season ticket holder for over 10 years, Michael’s connection to soccer runs deep—shaped by his childhood in Central America while growing up in a military family. He’s played, coached, and followed the sport ever since.
His favorite RSL memory is the team’s iconic 2009 MLS Cup win in Seattle. A close second? Attending the 2014 World Cup—an unforgettable experience for any soccer fan.
Michael’s all-time favorite players are Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman. As a former goalie and midfielder who wore #5 himself, he feels a special connection to both legends, whose leadership and dedication helped define RSL’s golden era.
