David Beckham’s Major League Soccer franchise is expected to be officially launched on Monday, according to Douglas Hanks and Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald.
The launch of Beckham’s Miami team has been four years in the making. Hanks and Kaufman noted how final details have been ironed out with the MLS, prompting a launch event to welcome the franchise.
However, BBC Sport (h/t BBC News) has reported the MLS has confirmed only progress is being made toward an eventual deal.
Stadium land has already been secured in Overtown thanks to a deal undertaken with the administration of Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
