Seattle Sounders FC has officially inducted Sigi Schmid, Kasey Keller, and Jimmy Gabriel into the Eternal Sounders Circle of Legends. The trio will be enshrined during a special ceremony prior to the July 16 match against the Portland Timbers. The induction process started last year when the Circle of Legends Nomination Committee put the three names on the ballot, which was then voted on by Sounders FC Alliance members and Alliance Council representatives, Sounders alumni, Sounders FC ownership and staff, as well as Seattle soccer media. Voters could choose to vote for as few as zero or as many as all three; to gain induction the nominee had to appear on at least 75% of ballots. Voting took place from Oct. 4–12, 2025. Keller is inducted as a player after featuring for the Sounders from 2009–11. He remains the only Sounder to win MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and helped lead the team to three consecutive U.S. Open Cup trophies. Schmid is inducted as a coach after serving as the club’s inaugural head coach from 2009–16. During his tenure, he led the Sounders to four U.S. Open Cups and a Supporters’ Shield. Gabriel gets in as a builder, having played for the 1974 team, serving as a player-coach from 1977–79 and then serving in a variety of roles in the greater soccer community for several more decades.
