Columbus Crew
The Columbus Crew, formerly known as Columbus Crew SC, is an American professional soccer club based in Columbus, Ohio. The Crew competes in Major League Soccer (MLS) as a member of the league's Eastern Conference and began play in 1996 as one of the 10 charter clubs of the league. The team is currently operated by an ownership group led by the Haslam family (also owners of the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pilot Corporation) and former team physician Pete Edwards. The Haslam/Edwards group is the third ownership group in club history.

The franchise was founded in 1994. Its stadium is Lower.com Field, opened in 2021. From 1999 to 2021, the Crew played home games at Historic Crew Stadium (formerly Mapfre Stadium and Columbus Crew Stadium), the first soccer-specific stadium built for an MLS team, with a seating capacity of 19,968 as of the 2015 season. From 1996 to 1998, the Crew played its home games at Ohio Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University. In 2014, the team set club attendance records for both most cumulative attendance and most sellouts.

The Crew have won six major trophies: the MLS Cup in 2008 and 2020; the Supporters' Shield in 2004, 2008, and 2009; and the 2002 U.S. Open Cup. The Crew have qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League (or its predecessor, the CONCACAF Champions' Cup) four times, reaching the quarter-finals on the first three occasions. In 2021, the club won their first continental trophy by winning the Campeones Cup.

Eloy Room
Eloy Victor Room (born 6 February 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew. Born in the Netherlands, he represents the Curaçao national team.

On 5 July 2019, Room signed with Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew, replacing Zack Steffen who had left the club for Manchester City. He made his debut for the club on 20 July in a 2–1 victory against the Montreal Impact. Room completed his first season with twelve appearances for the Crew, earning one clean sheet, and averaging just 1.13 goals against.

During the 2020 season, Room missed a total of six games due to injury. In the seventeen games he did appear in, he recorded seven clean sheets and a 0.88 goals against average. Room won the MLS Save of the Year for his double save in the Crew's match against Orlando City SC on 4 November, the first Crew player to win the award.

In the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs, Room tested positive for COVID-19 and missed two games. However, the Crew would end up winning both games for which he was out. He was cleared to play in the MLS Cup final and was given the start. The Crew would go on to win, giving them their first piece of silverware since the 2009 Supporters' Shield.

On 3 December 2021, it was announced that the Crew had re-signed Room to a two year contract extension through the 2023 MLS season with a club option for 2024. Crew president and general manager Tim Bezbatchenko stated that "Eloy has not only performed on the field, but he has also bought into the values of the Crew to become a veteran voice and leader in the locker room."
