A group of Baltimore investors has submitted an application to launch an expansion team in the United Soccer League, sources close to the blossoming second-tier circuit said Monday.
The identity of the individuals was not immediately known but their proposal to field a team as early as 2018 was described by one source as “strong.”
Baltimore is high on the league’s list for possible expansion. The group is apparently looking to build a stadium from scratch and, if necessary, play in an existing facility on a temporary basis.
Last year, the Wilmington Hammerheads explored the possibility of moving to Towson University’s football-lacrosse stadium.
