MIAMI — David Beckham finally has his Major League Soccer team in Miami.
Beckham and MLS announced Monday that the long-awaited franchise is now born. It took Beckham nearly four years just to get this far with Miami, and there’s a slew of details still to come — such as the team name, logo and when it will start play.
All that can wait. Soccer, at long last, is back in Miami.
“Welcome, Miami,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber said.
The team will play in a 25,000-seat, privately funded stadium to be built in the city’s Overtown neighborhood, designed by a firm that has worked on several MLS venues in recent years.
