Major League Soccer’s opening weekend is just two days away and along with celebrating the league’s 25th anniversary the league will also be welcoming its two newest franchises in Nashville and Miami this season.
Inter Miami CF’s arrival has been much anticipated since David Beckham and his ownership group announced their interest in bringing an MLS franchise back to Miami in 2014. Given the star-studded cast of executives, coaches and players to arrive at the franchise over the last six years, the hype surrounding it has been relentless. Yet, the modesty and communal atmosphere of their fellow expansion franchise Nashville SC has set the foundation for one of the more unique club cultures across the entirety of MLS.
