SPORTING KC 2011 TEAM AWARDS

Jimmy Nielsen was selected as Sporting Kansas City’s 2011 Most Valuable Player. Nielsen finished the regular season with a 1.14 goals against average and recorded 79 saves in 31 appearances. Nielsen posted seven shutouts and his 12 victories tied for fourth most amongst MLS goalkeepers during the regular season. The 2010 MLS All-Star was a three-time winner of Major League Soccer’s AT&T Save of the Week this season after garnering eight nominations, and was named to Major League Soccer’s Team of the Week three times to go along with two honorable mention selections.

Besler, a 2011 MLS All-Star, was named Sporting Kansas City’s 2011 Defensive Player of the Year. The Overland Park native led all Sporting Kansas City players in minutes played this season with 2,880 and started each of the team’s last 27 regular season matches. He has contributed to eight Sporting Kansas City shutouts this season and in addition to his defensive duties, he scored his first two career MLS goals and recorded his first three career MLS assists. Sporting Kansas City also capitalized on Besler’s trademark long throw-ins this season, scoring five goals as a direct result of the specialized set piece. Most recently, Besler scored the game-winning goal against D.C. United to help Sporting Kansas City clinch the Eastern Conference title.

Kamara was chosen Sporting Kansas City 2011 MLS W.O.R.K.S. Humanitarian of the Year for his involvement in the community this season. Tied for the team-lead in goals scored this season, Kamara made an equally large impact off the field in 2011. The Sierra Leone international has been actively involved in the club’s Sporting 22 programs and McDonald’s Youth Clinics, while also taking time to visit local schools, organize unique community events and support charitable organizations. He has been recognized for his humanitarian efforts in Sierra Leone by continuing his innovative scholarship program in his hometown of Kenema, as well as hosting charity soccer matches and donating equipment to local youth soccer organizations in need.
