Why do some Canadian soccer teams join MLS?
Some Canadian soccer teams join the Major League Soccer (MLS) primarily for the elevated level of competition that the league provides. Being part of MLS offers exposure to a wider audience, increased media coverage, and the opportunity to play against top-tier teams. Joining MLS also provides additional financial benefits, with higher potential for revenue from ticket sales, merchandise, and sponsorships. Moreover, it gives Canadian players a chance to showcase their talent on a larger stage, potentially leading to international opportunities. Lastly, being part of MLS aids in the development of soccer in Canada, raising the sport's profile nationally.
