FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It’s been almost three months since the New England Revolution’s last match – a 1-1 draw with Chicago Fire FC on March 7 – but this week both the club and Major League Soccer took a pair of significant steps towards a return to action.
First was Wednesday’s announcement that MLS and the MLS Players Association had completed a new collective bargaining agreement, which will run through 2025 and includes plans on a return to play.
Just 24 hours later the league made more progress towards that return to play, announcing that the full team training moratorium in place since March 12 had been lifted, paving the way for clubs to begin submitting plans to return to full training.
