On Tuesday, MLS Commissioner Don Garber announced that St. Louis is the next city to add an Major League Soccer team.

The expansion team is expected to play in 2022 and becomes the 28th club added to the league. The process for selecting the team name, badge and colors will begin immediately.

“St. Louis, with it’s incredibly rich soccer history, not only deserves a team, but has earned one,” Garber told the crowd at the Palladium on Tuesday. “After two decades of discussions about St. Louis being a part of our league, today the moment has arrived. We’re here to make a landmark announcement for your city.”

The stadium plans are designed to accommodate up to 25,000 fans and will sit on the western edge of downtown St. Louis .

“We have to get the stadium process moving as fast as we possibly can,” Kavanaugh said. “That’s really what’s going to drive everything to our projected season opener in 2022.”
