Major League Soccer
As Major League Soccer embarks on its ninth season, soccer at all levels continues to grow in America. The development of soccer-specific stadiums and world-class American players made possible by the vision and commitment of MLS fans, investors, executives, staffs, coaches and players has clearly enabled the United States to be recognized across the globe as a formidable soccer nation. MLS leads the charge, having built unprecedented momentum and a solid foundation for the sport, continuing to forge ahead towards its mission of becoming the world’s best soccer league and one of America’s premier sports and entertainment properties.
As the League for the New America, MLS strives to unite soccer’s young, ethnic, digital and hard-core fans in the U.S., fueling their passion and providing aspiration – and inspiration – to a rapidly expanding soccer culture.
