San Diego FC has officially unveiled their team crest and colors on Friday. The club will be Major League Soccer's 30th team in the division. Although MLS officials awarded the California city an expansion franchise back in May, the club is not scheduled to compete in the league until 2025. Club crest features a lot […]

Sacramento will go ahead with plans to build a new stadium despite being overlooked for Major League Soccer expansion.
