Basketball star Carmelo Anthony heads incoming NASL club Puerto Rico FC.
Carmelo Anthony is expanding into other sports, with the New York Knicks star to own new North American Soccer League (NASL) franchise Puerto Rico FC.
"It is an honor for me to bring back soccer to Puerto Rico, my beloved island, birthplace of my father, and a special place that as you know, I carry with pride in my heart and soul," Anthony said.
Backed by owner Anthony, Puerto Rico FC will compete in the NASL in 2016 following Thursday's unveiling as the league's 13th club in Bayamon.
