“Major League Soccer (MLS) announced four finalists for the next two expansion teams, which will be awarded soon. While North Carolina FC was not among the initial group of markets, MLS has indicated that the club is in consideration for the remaining two expansion spots which will be announced at a later date.

North Carolina FC remains committed to pursuing a MLS franchise and is continuing to work diligently to secure a stadium in downtown Raleigh. Momentum for the project continues to build and we look forward to continued dialogue with the community and with MLS as we demonstrate why the Triangle should be home to a franchise.”
