Major League Soccer expansion team coming to San Diego, will play at Snapdragon Stadium
SAN DIEGO – Major League Soccer is coming to San Diego, with the league Tuesday announcing plans for a Thursday news conference for the official announcement.
According to published reports, Mansour — senior treasurer for the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party — is set to back the team with $500 million in partnership with the Sycuan tribe. In the wake of MLS expansion rumors, the ownership of one of San Diego’s existing professional soccer clubs — SD Loyal of the USL Championship League — put out a defiant statement last week saying the team isn’t “going anywhere.”
Donovan was previously head coach of the club, and was named executive vice president of soccer operations in December 2022. That same month, SD Loyal entered a goodwill partnership with Lincoln City F.C. of Lincolnshire, England.
