Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.
The featured article for Tuesday, 6 January 2026, is New England Revolution in international competition.
The New England Revolution is an American soccer club based in Foxborough, Massachusetts, which has competed in Major League Soccer since the league's first season in 1996. The club has taken part five times in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, which was known as the CONCACAF Champions League between 2008 and 2023. Their best result (as of August 2025) is the quarterfinals, which they have reached on three occasions. In 2008, the team lost to Joe Public F. C., marking the first time an MLS side had lost to a Caribbean one. In 2022, they lost to Pumas UNAM in a penalty shootout after winning the first leg 3–0, which was only the second time in the tournament's history that a team failed to advance after securing that scoreline in the first match.
From 2008 to 2010, the Revolution participated in the SuperLiga, an annual competition between MLS and Liga MX (the first-division Mexican league). They won the 2008 edition of the tournament, winning the final in a penalty shootout against the Houston Dynamo. The club also reached the final of the 2010 SuperLiga, which they lost to Atlético Morelia. The tournament was discontinued after the 2010 edition. Since 2023, they have participated in the Leagues Cup, another annual tournament between the two leagues.
