On Wednesday morning, Major League Soccer officially announced its Orlando tournament format as well as the desire to return to play in home markets following the completion of the tournament. After the conclusion of collective bargaining talks last week, it was only a matter of time before details of the tournament were confirmed. But now, MLS fans in every market will have matches to look forwards to starting on July 8th.
I won’t elaborate on all the details here, but there are some important things to note for both Vancouver Whitecaps fans and general sports observers in the time of COVID-19.
