Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Major League Soccer (MLS) is the United States' and Canada's top-tier professional Soccer league. Its predecessor league, the North American Soccer League (NASL) went out of business in 1984. MLS was founded in 1993 as a condition FIFA imposed on the US Soccer federation in exchange for allowing the United States to host the 1994 World Cup. MLS operates more like the other North American professional sports leagues. Unlike other Association Football leagues in the world it currently does not have a relegation/promotion system. Each of the teams in the league are franchises granted by the league, as opposed to being completely individual entities like their European counterparts. MLS also relies on an American-style playoff format to determine its championship. It has 19 teams, 16 in the U.S. and three in Canada. |
