LI gains new team, stadium
The team is set to debut in March 2027 with preseason games that begin in January, only six months after the 2026 FIFA World Cup concludes at MetLife Stadium. It is estimated to be a $25 million venture — about $20 million for the complex, which will also serve as a year-round training facility, and around $5 million to launch the club — that is backed by Rechler, Zaratin and several other partners.
