Part of Broader Season Celebration

The season has been marked by various fan engagement activities, including special merchandise, recognitions, and community events centered around the club’s rich history.
Ticket Information and Upcoming Matches
Tickets for the remaining home matches are currently available at a price of $169. Fans can also book tickets via text, offering flexible access for supporters wishing to attend multiple games or special events during the season.
During the upcoming Matchday 24, the Timbers will face St. Louis CITY on Sunday Night Soccer. The game presents an opportunity for the Timbers to extend their current positive form against the Eastern Conference team.
Current Team Performance and Standings
The Portland Timbers presently hold the fourth position in the Western Conference with a record of 9 wins, 5 losses, and 6 draws. Their latest encounter against St. Louis CITY ended with a 2-1 victory, reflecting their competitive strength this season.
St. Louis CITY’s Form and Challenges
St. Louis CITY is experiencing difficulties, with a recent record of one win, one draw, and four losses in their last five matches. Their current standing has put them at risk of finishing at the bottom of the conference, often referred to as the Wooden Spoon.
The team is operating under interim manager David Critchley, who has revised the team’s formation in an effort to improve offensive production following the departure of the former head coach.
Team Strategy and Key Players
Meanwhile, Portland’s head coach Phil Neville continues to adapt the team’s strategy, aiming to stabilize performance and enhance the team’s overall tactics. A significant development is the injury to Jonathan Rodríguez, one of the team’s key attacking players, who will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after undergoing successful cartilage restoration surgery on his right knee.
Despite limited impact this season—contributing only 1 goal and 1 assist in six substitute appearances—Rodríguez’s absence has prompted the team to adopt a by-committee approach to attacking duties.
Leading the offensive efforts is David Da Costa, who has tallied 8 assists and 3 goals, and winger Antony, who has scored 6 goals and provided 7 assists.
Transfer Window and Future Player Additions
The MLS Secondary Transfer Window is open from July 24 to August 21, providing opportunities for the Timbers and other teams to sign new players and strengthen their rosters for the remainder of the season.
As the Timbers prepare to celebrate a decade since their historic MLS Cup win, fans can look forward to an evening filled with memories, recognition, and community pride, all set against the backdrop of a competitive season in Major League Soccer.
