As interest for USL Division III grows across North America, league Vice President Steven Short shared his thoughts on Lexington, Kentucky, being a viable market for a professional soccer team.

Short spoke to Lexington Herald-Leader’s Jared Peck about the league and his recent tour of the city from April 25-26.

“It was very positive,” Short told the Lexington Herald-Leader. “I heard in several meetings that Lexington is right for professional soccer. Youth soccer is continuing to grow in the region. Obviously, there are some strong clubs in the area, some strong supporter groups. I even learned that several individuals have season tickets to USL teams in Louisville and Cincinnati.”
