Diego Chara, a 38-year-old midfielder for the Portland Timbers, is poised to break the MLS record for regular-season appearances with a single club in his 377th match.
Chara's upcoming match against the Seattle Sounders will be his 33rd career regular-season league match against the team, marking a significant milestone during MLS Rivalry Week.
He currently holds the MLS records for both regular-season games started at 370 and for committing the most fouils in the league's history.
Despite his record for fouls, Chara is beloved by fans and teammates for his enduring commitment to the game and his role in the Portland community.
The Timbers are entering the match with a six-game unbeaten streak against the Sounders, aiming to uphold their strong performance in the Cascadia Cup rivalry.
