New Soccer Team Adds to Birmingham’s Story of Revival
For fans of the other football, it’s exciting news. Last week the United Soccer League announced it would start a new professional team in Birmingham with official play to begin in 2019. That league is the second tier of professional soccer in the United States, but still brings exciting possibilities for the business community. We talk about that, along with Hoover leaders’ efforts to chart a new course for the city in this week’s Magic City Marketplace.
