Associated teams [edit ]

The reservation team of Real Salt Lake, named Real Monarchs SLC, was created on September 10, 2014 as a bridge between the club ‘s academy program and the inaugural flush team. The team began play in the western Conference of the United Soccer League during the 2015 season, playing their home plate games at Rio Tinto Stadium along with their parent team. Starting in 2018, the Monarchs will move to Zions Bank Stadium, a 5,000-seat facility located at RSL ‘s fresh train center in Herriman. [ 81 ] A women ‘s soccer team, called real Salt Lake Women, was founded in 2008. The team is presently a member of the western Division of United Women ‘s Soccer, the second tier of women ‘s soccer in the United States and Canada, and plays its family games at Ute Field, on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. real Salt Lake added a second women ‘s team, this one in the top-level National Women ‘s Soccer League, in November 2017. [ 82 ] This team efficaciously replaced FC Kansas City in the NWSL, as FC Kansas City soon folded and all of its player contracts were assigned to the new RSL franchise. [ 83 ] concisely thereafter, the fresh team, which will share Rio Tinto Stadium, was unveiled as Utah Royals FC. [ 84 ]
