“We believe our MLS Expansion Franchise bid is one of the strongest in the country,” said Phoenix Rising FC Governor Berke Bakay. “Today, we enjoyed having an opportunity to show our guests from MLS the incredible growth and beauty in greater Phoenix, its vibrant soccer community and the numerous accomplishments achieved by Phoenix Rising FC since we last met with MLS in mid-January. I think it is now clear, Phoenix Rising is ready for MLS.”

Continuing the strong push for a MLS franchise!

Looks like a lot of support from local communities during this visit including the mayors of Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix, the Salt River Indian community and ASU!

Personally, I'm not much of a soccer fan, but this is good news for the East Valley.

I have been working with Shaggy on creating a new forum for Phoenix Rising FC. Should be up soon.

At this point it would probably be a bigger surprise if they don't get accepted to the MLS.
