Last week, United Soccer League (USL) and MountainStar Sports Group (MSSG) announced that the Division II American Soccer League will find a new home in the Sun City starting in 2019.
The news came as a surprise to some, but not to all. The idea of a soccer team coming to El Paso has been in the works since 2014, and MountainStar Sports Group has been proactive on the development ever since.
Now this isn’t about some conspiracy master plan from MSSG to bring a soccer team under everyone’s nose, or a plan to displace people with a new stadium downtown in the Duranguito neighborhood.
