The future of soccer

The sport of soccer is the most popular sport in world, that is a well known fact. The question is how can it get any bigger. I will attempt to answer that question the best I can in this post.

Most people will be able to tell you that love for soccer is commonplace in most European and south American countries and that this has been the case for many years. I find that the key to the growth of the sport is expanding its borders of popularity to whole world. This expansion has already begun. Soccer is becoming massively popular in north America with the establishment of Major League Soccer in 1993. Ever since being founded the MLS has been a massive success. The MLS is currently seeing a massive surge of success with 6 new MLS teams formed in the last 2 years, 4 of which are yet to have formally joined the league.

Soccer is mainly watched by males aged 19-25. Another key to the growth of soccer is gaining popularity with other demographics. Many women in north America became invested in the sport earlier this year when the US women's national team won the won the women's world cup. I believe that soccer will successfully expand, especially to children.

Thats all for now.
