Royal Roundup: Sacramento Republic FC joining MLS in peril

Welcome to March, it’s time for MLS preseason! Hopefully we’ll get some news about ownership, and finally get to see the team in action again.

MLS got some unfortunate news just before the weekend. The primary backer of future expansion team Sacramento Republic FC has pulled his support citing rising costs due to the pandemic. MLS will search for a new investor in hopes of salvaging the bid. [SSD][MLS]
