Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley firmly believes the MLS club can build "something special", despite their indifferent start to the 2015 season.
Greg Vanney's men ended a four-match losing streak courtesy of a 2-0 win at Orlando City last Sunday.
Toronto are seventh in the Eastern Conference heading into Saturday's clash against Philadelphia Union at PPL Park, level on points with the latter and two adrift of Orlando, who have a bye weekend alongside CONCACAF Champions League final participants Montreal Impact.
"In the bigger picture, nobody firmly believes more in this club and this city than I do," Bradley said following Sunday's victory.
"It's why I'm here, it's why I'm still here, it's why I'm gonna be here. I think that this has the chance to be something totally different, totally unique, something special in MLS.
"I think when you talk about the infrastructure, the training ground we have, the stadium that we have, the city, the support we have in terms of the fan base, the people, the media following, we're relevant in the city."
The Union welcome Toronto to Philadelphia on the back of a three-game winless run following last week's 4-1 drubbing at the hands of fourth-placed Columbus Crew.
The Red Bulls will be in action at Gillette Stadium just three days after hosting Colorado Rapids, who will be without Marcelo Sarvas for Saturday's match against reigning MLS Cup champions Los Angeles Galaxy.
Real Salt Lake's clash against the San Jose Earthquakes is the only other scheduled game on Friday.
