Major League Soccer is expanding to 30 teams in 2025 after San Diego was awarded rights to a new expansion team this week.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber made the announcement Thursday, introducing billionaire Mohamed Mansour and the Sycuan Tribe as co-owners of the team.
"We are thrilled to welcome San Diego to Major League Soccer as our 30th team," Garber said in a press release. "For many years, we have believed San Diego would be a terrific MLS market due to its youthful energy, great diversity and the fact that soccer is an essential part of everyday life for so many people.
