Charlotte remains on track to be 30th Major League Soccer franchise

Charlotte, North Carolina will be the city chosen for the 30th team in Major League Soccer, according to reports from several outlets.

The MLS Board of Governors met Thursday morning in New York City. Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper and president Tom Glick both attended the meeting. The league has not yet made an official expansion announcement and a league spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

WBTV News, WSOC-TV and the Charlotte Business Journal were among the local outlets to report MLS will come to the city, as did Front Office Sport.
