Miami may have a Major League Soccer team within the next 30 days.
In the most encouraging sign that soccer superstar David Beckham will locate an expansion franchise in South Florida, MLS Commissioner Don Garber said Thursday that the league expects to make an announcement next month.
“I was down there this past weekend, and I’ve been down there a lot, working with potential ownership and trying to finalize a stadium plan,” Garber told media at the MLS SuperDraft. “Right now, we’ve got a lot of work to do, and we’ll announce something in early February.”
Garber made it clear in early December that getting a soccer-specific stadium built downtown is vital to landing a franchise for Miami. Beckham’s investment group has been in discussion with Miami-Dade County about building a stadium at PortMiami.
