As we have informed you in 90min, the MLS will get bigger with the arrival of a new franchise, it is San Diego FC. The club will be paid for by Mohamed Mansour, a powerful Egyptian businessman of British descent in partnership with MLB legend Manny Machado. The club will be able to debut at the start of the next United States soccer campaign in February 2025 and the idea is to promote the Mexican market, which is why they have two legends from Mexico on their roster.

As we have informed you in 90min, the club wants its first franchise player in history to be Guillermo Ochoa and they are already working on convincing the captain of the Mexican team to accept a pre-contract once he leaves Salernitana as a free agent. Although the project does not end there, since the sports and commercial management led by Mexican Carlos Aviña has proposed that the team's first coach be Hugo Sánchez, the greatest figure in the history of Mexico at the field level.
The intention is clear, San Diego is the most important border with Mexico; That is to say, it is a city within the limits of California that is full of Mexicans, either physically or as visitors, thus there is a very large potential market to exploit, as LAFC have done at the time with Carlos Vela or LA Galaxy with Javier Hernández. Although Sánchez and Ochoa are the first two big names, they are not the only Mexicans in the crosshairs.
