SAN DIEGO -- Soccer fans, it's time to get excited!
The Major League Soccer Commissioner and San Diego City Mayor Todd Gloria are expected to hold a press conference at 10:45 a.m. at Snapdragon Stadium to announce the league's 30th expansion team coming to America's Finest City.
“We’ve shown ourselves to be a great soccer community," Mark Neville, CEO of Sports San Diego said.
"It's great to have more opportunities for fans to watch the beautiful game and more opportunities for fans to experience soccer," San Diego Wave Head Coach Casey Stoney said. "I see the youth game here and it's absolutely booming, so to have both male and female role models can only be a good thing."
The Wave will be getting a new roommate at Snapdragon Stadium.
“It really does seem like a natural for MLS to be in San Diego," Neville said. "I think they are going to be really well supported, I think they are going to be happy with having San Diego as part of their footprint. This is going to be a great announcement for the San Diego region."
Neville is part of a team that assists with sports tourism in San Diego and is anticipating to work alongside the new MLS team.
