In two seasons since the Columbus Crew’s ownership changed hands, the Black & Gold have accomplished a lot, including winning the team’s second MLS Cup to end the 2020 season and getting a new stadium and training center nearly built. But there remains a hole on the player development side that the Black & Gold hope to fill.
That hole comes along the pathway for players from the Crew Academy to the Crew first team. The solution is a second team that could be on its way in the near future. As previously reported, the Black & Gold hope to have a Crew II side in the 2021 season.
