NEW YORK (June 26, 2017) – Professional soccer is making its long-awaited return to San Diego County. The North American Soccer League (NASL) announced Monday that San Diego County is the league’s newest expansion market, and the club will make its league debut in the Spring of 2018.

San Diego NASL is backed by an ownership group led by four global soccer stars: Demba Ba, Eden Hazard, Yohan Cabaye and Moussa Sow. The players have partnered with local business executives to bring high-quality, professional soccer back to an area that is home to 3.3 million people and more than 50,000 youth players. Bob Watkins, a longtime San Diegan and successful businessman, will serve as the club’s president.

​Our homeless crisis is staggering and the struggles on our streets are growing as more people fall into homelessness. The time to act is now. Lives of so many men, women and children are on the line.

It's why numerous San Diego leaders have come together to support Mayor Kevin Faulconer's #JobsStreetsPeople plan to modernize and expand the convention center, repair our roads and reduce homelessness.

The measure would generate $140 million for homeless services - in year one alone. Polling shows it has strong support among San Diego voters.
