FC Cincinnati hoping to host MLS commissioner during playoffs

CINCINNATI -- FC Cincinnati president and general manager Jeff Berding said he is still holding out hope the first-year club can get Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber to town before the scheduled meeting here in late November.

Club executives have been trying for a while now to bring MLS representatives to Cincinnati for a home game, but weren’t able to work out a date that fit Garber’s schedule, according to Berding.

FC Cincinnati and city officials got Garber on the books for a visit Nov. 29, but if Cincinnati happens to get another home playoff game after Sunday’s first-round United Soccer League match against Charleston, another invitation will be extended.
