St. Louis City Stadium
St. Louis City SC, the local Major League Soccer expansion team, won’t start play until 2023 but will be active before then. The club will have an under-17 and under-16 academy team starting this fall and, it was announced Monday, a team in the MLS developmental league that will start in March of 2022.
“St. Louis is really well poised to take advantage of what a lower-division league affords us in timing and as part of the build toward the first team in 2023,” said Vin Ko, director of team operations for City.
The league, as yet unnamed and with only a few details revealed, will serve as a bridge between MLS Next, the youth league in which the academy teams will compete, and MLS itself. It will consist of team‘s owned by MLS clubs and teams not affiliated with MLS.
Twenty MLS teams have signed on for the first season with, the league said, with “the potential for independently owned teams” that the league suggested could be in cities that don’t have MLS teams. The season will begin in March and end with a championship game in December.
While the aim of the league is to facilitate player development, it also will serve as a farm team for the full squad and, Ko said, as a place where reserve players who can’t get in a game with the main squad can see action. It also will provide a place where players recovering from injuries can get in games before returning to the first team.
