Amongst all this, it's a very big shame that Tucson's soccer community is going to miss out on having a connection to the World Cup.
#USL-2 club FC Tucson was going to host Iran at the Kino Sports Complex, a top-class facility that has hosted #MLS, #NWSL and #USL preseasons for more than a decade.

Mexico president Claudia Sheinbaum says Iran are welcome to base themselves in Mexico for the FIFA World Cup after the US refused to host them in Tucson, Arizona, as originally planned. All of Iran's group games take place in the US, meaning they will have to cross the border for each game.

As USL plans major infrastructural increases, I wonder about the upside for club owners.
There's not real rev sharing in USL. Expansion fees stay at USL HQ. Clubs pay yearly dues to USL HQ. Even when teams do turn a (very rare) profit, 49% of that goes to USL HQ.
Interesting times ahead.
