Austin FC are a professional MLS club. The announcement came on Tuesday afternoon, with MLS commissioner Don Garber clearly delighted to welcome the Texas-based organisation into the league as the 27th club.
Starting life in the league in 2021, Austin FC’s long and arduous journey to establishing entry into MLS is now at an end. Now, the real work starts.
The good thing for Austin FC supporters is that everything is in place for the club to flourish. A new, purpose-built stadium that is expected to hold 20,000 will be erected between now and 2021.
