The New England Revolution have announced that they will launch a second team in 2020. The team, aptly named Revoluton II, will play in USL League One.
The lower division team will train at the Revolution Training Center and play its home games at Gillette Stadium. The hope is that Revolution II will solidify the pipeline between the Academy and first team.
“The addition of Revolution II is a critical step that fully defines the pathway for our younger players to professional soccer with the New England Revolution,” said Revolution Technical Director Curt Onalfo. “USL League One is an excellent opportunity for our young talent to compete against quality opponents and we’re excited for how this new team will elevate our player development model.
