TORONTO, Canada—The Reds are returning to action, Disney style.
The MLS Players Association (MLSPA) announced Wednesday that they have voted to approve the Major League Soccer’s latest return-to-play plan, officially ratifying the collective bargaining agreement through 2025.
“MLS Players today ratified a new collective bargaining agreement, which will run through the 2025 season,” the MLSPA released in a statement. “Today’s vote also finalizes a plan to resume the 2020 season and provides players with certainty for the months ahead. It allows our members to move forward and continue to compete in the game they love.”
The new deal comes a few hours before the league was reportedly set to lock out its players after failing to come to an agreement on a return-to-play scenario.
