MLS to announce expansion teams by mid-March

Posted on 20 January 2009 by ASN Staff

Major League Soccer’s senior vice president Dan Courtemance has reportedly advised the remaining candidate cities that both bid winners will be announced by mid-March. A final verdict was scheduled to be made late last year, but no formal announcements have been issued.

Courtemanche attributed the delay to unexpected travel setbacks, according to the eufootball.biz Web site.

The site does not supply sources for the news but attributes different statements, by MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Courtemanche, to the Vancouver Sun. A Jan. 17 story in the Sun said Garber had visited all bidding cities except Ottawa and planned to complete the trip by the end of the month. The same story also quotes Courtemanche saying the two successful bids will be made public before March 19.
