Colorado Rapids Rivalries
Colorado has been in the league for a long time, and they’ve built some serious rivalries with other teams in their vicinity over the years. Here are two of their most heated rivalries to keep an eye out for this season:
Colorado Rapids vs. Real Salt Lake
The rivalry between Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake is known as the Rocky Mountain Cup, a competition introduced in 2005 when Real Salt Lake joined the league. The Rocky Mountain Cup is awarded to the team with the best results in the head-to-head matchups during the season. This rivalry is one of the most heated in MLS, with intense matches that fuel the competition between these two neighboring states.
The Colorado Rapids won’t play against Real Salt Lake again this season.
Colorado Rapids vs. Sporting Kansas City
While not as prominent as the Rocky Mountain Cup, the rivalry with Sporting Kansas City stems from numerous competitive encounters over the years. The physical and high-stakes nature of their matches has turned this into a fierce rivalry, making games between these two sides highly anticipated.
