Visited USL offices during trip to Tampa for USF Sports & Entertainment Lecture Series

TAMPA, Fla. – Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber visited the USL offices last week while in Tampa to be a guest speaker at the University of South Florida’s Sports & Entertainment Lecture Series, and was enthused by the welcome he received from the league’s staff.

“As I walked around the halls today and see the great offices and see the trophies on the wall and see a lot of young, ambitious, energized people, it fills me with pride,” said Garber. “This is a really impressive organization that is helping to make our country a more competitive soccer nation.”

The partnership between the USL and Major League Soccer that began at the start of the 2013 season has grown exponentially over the past four seasons, with the New York Red Bulls II making history as the first MLS owned-and-operated club to win the USL Cup just over a week ago.
