David Beckham: Mls and Expansion Committee

david beckham: MLS announced last December that it would select its 25th and 26th teams during the second or third quarter of 2017 and they would start play by 2020, according to CTV. Twelve areas submitted bids the following month, when MLS said it would announce the two selected by the end of the year. A day after selecting Nashville, Tennessee, as one of its next two additions, MLS said Thursday it still is considering which market to add from among Cincinnati, Detroit and Sacramento, California. Contenders were pared to four finalists on Nov. 29, and the groups made presentations to the league's expansion committee on Dec. 6. The 24th team, provisionally awarded to Miami and David Beckham in 2014, still has not finalized a stadium location and remains on hold. Los Angeles FC, the league's 23rd team, starts play next season. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
