The North American Soccer League has approved expansion teams in Jacksonville, Fla., and Oklahoma City.
The North American Soccer League board of governors has unamimously approved expansion teams for Jacksonville, Fla., and Oklahoma City.
The franchises will begin playing in time for the 2015 Spring Season. The board approved franchise bids after hearing presentations from groups representing four prospective cities at meetings in Dallas.
?We are delighted to be expanding to two cities that clearly have a passion for soccer, where we believe local fans will be excited to welcome our newest teams,? said NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson. ?We have considered expansion to cities that meet specific criteria and most importantly have strong ownership groups that will provide a long and stable future for the NASL in those markets, which we clearly have in both Jacksonville and Oklahoma City.?
The San Antonio Scorpions also play in the NASL.
