Miami FC Is Not Beckham's Soccer Team, and That's a Good Thing

Monday, August 29, 2016 at 9:05 a.m.

When I told my friends I was attending a Miami FC soccer game Saturday night, I got responses like this: “You mean Beckham’s team?”

If you tell that to the people at Miami FC, they will most likely give you a smirk and say, “Just a little friendly competition.”

It’s true – Miami FC is not Beckham’s soccer team. But that might just be a good thing.

According to its official website, Miami FC is “Miami’s sole professional soccer club, beginning to play in the North American Soccer League (NASL) in 2016.” But if you ask the team's CEO, Sean Flynn, Miami FC is so much more than just a professional soccer team (which is, by the way, now ranked fourth in its league). Rather, Miami FC is a soccer club created by and for the people of Miami.

. . .

So what exactly is the difference between Miami FC and Beckham's team? A big one, it turns out – Miami FC is in the North American Soccer League (NASL), and Beckham’s team (which we might not even see until 2018) will be a Major League Soccer (MLS) team.
