 Major League Soccer : MLS
Major League Soccer (MLS) is a first division professional soccer league in the United States.
MLS is the highest level league sanctioned by the professional division of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF or U.S. Soccer), which is a member of FIFA.

 Major League Soccer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However this is a considerable expense to the league, and to provide better facilities as well as to control revenue for the stadium, a major goal of MLS management is to build its own stadiums, which are often called "soccer-specific stadiums".
The only difficulty for the league is getting the stadiums constructed, as many international clubs like Chelsea and others have expressed interest in or already have formed partnerships with MLS clubs and owners in the league, meaning ownership issues are no longer as acute as they once were.
The league, while not abandoning the single-entity nature that has preserved it (and Garber has said that he does not believe MLS will do so in the foreseeable future, in order to avoid repeating mistakes of the NASL), is increasingly dismantling central controls in favor of owner diversification and a more open competition.
