May 18 (Reuters) - Major League Soccer (MLS) awarded its 30th team to San Diego on Thursday, with the club set to make their debut in 2025 under the ownership of entrepreneur and investor Mohamed Mansour.
The team will share the new, 35,000-seat Snapdragon Stadium with an existing women's team, San Diego Wave of the National Women's Soccer League.
"Sycuan has deep roots to the San Diego community," said Sycuan Tribal Chairman Cody Martinez.
"Our MLS team will provide us with a great opportunity to bring together many different segments of the community."
Adding some star power to the ownership ranks is the San Diego Padres six-time All-Star Manny Machado.
