Major League Soccer has announced today they will create next year a new League which will help young player to make the transition from the youth and academy teams to MLS. The new league will have 20 clubs and will bring soccer to cities that right now don't have a professional soccer team. The new league will begin in March 2022 with playoff in the fall and a championship game in December, This represents another try to launch soccer in the US and we will see in the next years if this plan will work out.
