		MLS was formed on December 17, 1993, in fulfillment of Alan Rothenberg and U.S. Soccer's promise to FIFA to establish a "Division One" professional football (soccer) league in exchange for the staging of the FIFA World Cup USA 1994 in the United States.
		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.
		League commissioner Don Garber assures fans and investors that one thing is for sure: the league will continue to make slow, controlled growth, and make the smart financial decisions that are good for the league now and long into the future.

		Major League Soccer (MLS) is a professional soccer league with teams in the United States and Canada.
		MLS was formed on December 17, 1993, in fulfillment of Alan Rothenberg and the US Soccer Federation's promise to FIFA to establish a "Division One" professional football (soccer) league in exchange for the staging of the FIFA World Cup USA 1994 in the United States.
		Yet, for most of MLS' early years, the league played to sparsely-attended crowds, and in the shadow of women's soccer, whose prominence had risen on the heels of the United States women's national soccer team's gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics and victory at the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup.

		However this is a considerable expense to the league, and to provide better facilities as well as to control revenue for the stadia, 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 teams and owners in the league, meaning ownership issues are no longer as acute as they once were.
		However, even though MLS is not expected to reach the perceived status of a major professional league in the foreseeable future, the survival of the league for at least several more years appears secure.
