"Our club, players and staff fully appreciate the unique opportunities we have to represent our supporters, the city of Columbus, Major League Soccer and our sport throughout the world, including through this memorable event."
This marks the Crew's second official visit to the White House. They were hosted for a championship ceremony on July 19, 2009 after claiming their first MLS Cup in 2008.
A trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was not possible following the team’s 2020 title due to COVID-19 protocols.
