Major League Soccer has welcomed FC Cincinnati to its ever-expanding family.
The second-division United Soccer League side made the announcement that they would be joining MLS, with MLS Commissioner Don Garber confirming to The Enquirer that the club would begin play in 2019 to become the league's 24th team.
FC Cincinnati is actually the 26th announced franchise in the league, following David Beckham’s long-awaited Miami franchise and Nashville’s announcement in December.
MLS has stated previously it intends to get up to 28 teams, so the door is not yet closed on Sacramento or Detroit, the other cities in the running for expansion.
