USL Championship soccer: The rapid rise

USL has expanded rapidly beyond the careful, calculated pace of MLS. Yet the faster-paced USL has made their expansion work as they mount their largest-ever winter summit in Florida where more than 750 members attended. They are not to be outdone by the debut of David Beckham’s Inter Miami in MLS this spring.

USL soccer has taken Miami FC from the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA) out of the shadow of Inter Miami in MLS and brought it intol the USL. Miami FC acquired Ottawa Fury FC and the new version of the team will compete in the USL Championship (Division 2) beginning March 2020.
