Ninety days after a dream playoff run came to an end at Orlando City in the MLS Eastern Conference semifinals, Atlanta United take the field a much improved (and more resolute) group than it was three months ago. First up in 2025: CF Montréal on Saturday, in front of what’s projected to be a sellout crowd poised to see record signing Emmanuel Latte Lath make his debut and Miguel Almiron’s return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. “Everything’s different,” goalkeeper Brad Guzan said on Thursday.

Is this really Atlanta United’s ninth season? I started covering the team in late 2015, ahead of their inaugural season in 2017. And a lot has changed. We’ve seen the highs of 2018, when Atlanta won MLS Cup. There have been lows as it barely struggled to make the preseason. Then, of course, was 2020, which everyone wants to forget completely. But 2025 feels different: expectations for this team haven’t been this high since…2019?

Time is an interesting thing. In some respects, it doesn’t seem that long ago that I was in the Bobby Dodd Stadium press box in 2017 as Atlanta United played its inaugural match. Then again, being on the other side of a global pandemic does make that March evening feel like ages gone by. Atlanta, now heading into its ninth season, isn’t a new club anymore. But in many ways, it feels like it, given the turnover on the roster, in the technical area, and in the front office.
