MLS Commissioner Reveals the Secret Behind Messi's Move to America

Описание: Major League Soccer (MLS) Commissioner Don Garber has reflected on how the arrivals of David Beckham and Lionel Messi transformed the league, calling Messi's impact something he "never dreamed" would happen.

Speaking at the MLS 'Next Chapter' event in New York, Garber explained how Beckham's signing in 2007 helped establish MLS as a credible destination for world-class players before Messi's blockbuster move to Inter Miami elevated the league to unprecedented global attention.

Garber also praised Messi's continued success with Argentina, saying it remains surreal to watch the World Cup star compete on the biggest stage before returning to represent an MLS club.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final approaching, Garber reflected on how far American soccer has come and why MLS believes its future has never looked brighter.
