Sporting Kansas City president and CEO Jake Reid signed a five-year contract extension on Wednesday.

The club did not disclose financial terms.

Reid initially assumed the role of team president in January 2016 before adding the title of CEO in April 2018.

“Jake has shown great leadership as Sporting Kansas City’s President and CEO over the last six seasons,” Sporting Kansas City principal owner Michael Illig said. “We are delighted that he has committed to the club and look forward to further success in a rapidly changing sports landscape. As this exciting era continues to evolve, Sporting remains committed to revolutionizing the ways in which fans experience, follow and support the club.”

Reid, 39, joined Sporting Kansas City in 2010 as the vice president of ticket sales and service before being promoted to chief revenue officer in 2012.

“I am thrilled to be with the club for at least another five seasons,” Reid said. “I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished during my time here, but I still believe our biggest opportunities remain ahead of us. I would like to thank the entire ownership team for their continued commitment to ensuring we are a high-performance club that continues to set the standard in fan experience..”
