Hundreds turned out Monday at Pins Mechanical Co. in Cleveland to hear the announcement that Cleveland woud be gaining an MLS NEXT Pro men's soccer team, as well as to watch TV coverage as the U.S. men's national soccer team tied Wales 1-1 in their first 2022 World Cup match in Qatar.
CLEVELAND — Soccer is widely known around the world as “jogo bonito” – literally, “The Beautiful Game.” The sport is diverse and growing, and Cleveland was the largest market in the United States without a high-level professional outdoor soccer club – until now.
Cleveland Soccer Group (CSG) was founded to bring this globally beloved game to our community, and after working for the last year with city officials and leadership to make this dream a reality, we’re proud to announce that CSG is launching a new Cleveland professional soccer team that will join MLS NEXT Pro in 2025. At CSG, this announcement underscores a commitment to a long-term vision where soccer will serve as a key vehicle to drive civic pride, foster economic development, and connect us to teams, countries and billions of soccer fans around the world.
