NEW YORK — David Beckham knew it would be hard to bring an MLS club to Miami. He just didn’t know it would be quite this hard.
In the opening month of the 2020 season, the new club is celebrating years of work in the best way possible — an inaugural game at LAFC, followed by a sold out home opener two weeks later.
But the path to this weekend’s season opener has been harder — and much longer — than Beckham and his partners throughout the league ever expected.
“The Miami project is one that really tested us,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber said.
