HL!!!.......I'm hearing that MLS will be launching

[USAF]

their own Reserve League, next year.......I guess it's part of their new comprehensive youth/player development system, to go along with MLS Next (their youth development league), that was launched this Summer.

It was reported today that Philadelphia, Portland & Orlando will be leaving USL, at the end of this season: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/...usl-after-2020

All over the world...Football is in a state of flux.

Just can't wait for things to settle down.

This is not because of COVID-19. MLS tried it before, but it wasn't successful, and they always had plans to go back to it. They partnered with USL, after NASL turned them down, and help stabilize and grow the league (promoted from Div. III to Div. II status), so maybe they thought this was a good time to make that move.......I'm hearing that this will be a U23 League, a part of their new youth development system.
