Major League Soccer (MLS) (2223 words)
Major League Soccer's on-field product is proving itself in various international competitions for club and country.
Major League Soccer has allowed the sport to enjoy unprecedented success during its first eight campaigns on the field, in the stands, on television and among the League's numerous commercial affiliates.

Major League Soccer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2076 words)
Major League Soccer (MLS) is the top soccer league in the United States in the American Soccer Pyramid, sanctioned by the professional division of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF or U.S. Soccer), a member of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
MLS was formed on December 17, 1993, in fulfillment of U.S. Soccer's promise to FIFA to establish a "Division One" professional football league in exchange for the staging of the FIFA World Cup USA 1994 in the United States.
However this is a considerable expense to the league, and to provide better facilities as well as to control revenue for the stadium, a major goal of MLS management is to build its own stadiums, which are often called "soccer-specific stadiums".
