Atlanta United: From Underdogs to Cup Kings (Well, Kind Of)
Let's face it, Atlanta loves a good underdog story. We cheered on the Falcons in that unforgettable Super Bowl comeback (almost... nearly...). We rallied behind the Braves to end their championship drought longer than a Netflix queue. So, it's no surprise that Atlanta United, the city's young and energetic MLS team, has quickly become a fan favorite.
But how many trophies have they hoisted in celebration? Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the glittering world of Atlanta United's cup collection (or lack thereof, depending on how you look at it).

| How Many Cups Has Atlanta United Won |
The Big One (That They Actually Won)
The MLS Cup: In 2018, Atlanta United defied the odds and stormed to MLS Cup glory in their second season EVER. That's right, these rookies took home the biggest prize in Major League Soccer, leaving seasoned veterans in the dust. It was a magical run, fueled by the electric atmosphere at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the legendary finishing of Josef Martinez.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
This championship win cemented Atlanta United's place in the hearts of the city and proved that sometimes, the new kids on the block can reign supreme.
The Other Shiny Objects (That Weren't the MLS Cup)
Now, things get a little interesting. Atlanta United has a knack for reaching cup finals, but their success hasn't quite been a clean sweep. Here's a quick rundown of their near misses (and one additional triumph):
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
- U.S. Open Cup: They won it in 2019, adding another trophy to the cabinet.
- Campeones Cup: This fancy-named cup went Atlanta's way in 2019 too. Basically, they were the champions of champions in a competition between the winners of MLS and the Mexican league.
So, the official tally? Atlanta United has 2 major cups (MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup) and 1 fancy bonus cup (Campeones Cup). Not bad for a young team, but some might say they're still building their dynasty.
The Quest for More Cups Continues
Atlanta United's hunger for trophies is undeniable. Their passionate fans crave more championship moments. Will they add to their collection soon? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: watching them chase those cups is always an entertaining ride.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
