So, what does it take to win the rights to become Major League Soccer’s 30th team? And who would pay half a billion dollars to do it?!

In this episode, we explore the unlikely partnership behind SDFC: Right to Dream — a revolutionary global soccer group — and the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation — the first Native American owners in men’s professional sports.

It’s a story that bridges cultures, spans 8,000 miles and 20,000 years, and came together to bring MLS to San Diego.
