An announcement is expected next week confirming that the Alliance of American Football will place a team in San Diego, according to a city spokesperson.

Six weeks ago, SDCCU Stadium Manager Mike McSweeney told colleagues at a board meeting that a one-year deal was in place with the league and soon would be announced, allowing the league to play five games next year in the Mission Valley stadum where the Chargers played from 1967 through 2016.
