MLS Board of Governors Meeting

Posted by Mike on November 21, 2008 · Under MLS · View Comments

Don Garber held the MLS Board of Governors meeting today. Here are some highlights particular to Sounders FC…

Rosters have been trimmed from 28 players to 24. Teams will have the option of having as many as 20 senior roster players. Currently it’s 18.
The 2009 season will begin on March 21, a week earlier than this season. Each team will play 30 games: home and home with each of the other 14 teams (28 games) plus two intraconference, rivalry-oriented matches. Seattle will join the Western Conference.
Only the top two teams in each conference will receive automatic playoff berths (the top three qualified this year) and the remaining four slots will be wild-card berths for the usual, eight-team playoff system. The playoff format will remain the same: home and home in the first round, single-game conference finals and MLS Cup.
Garber said the league is taking a serious look at holding MLS Cup at the site of a finalist, but for 2009, the game will be at a neutral venue. Next year’s site and date have not been finalized.
No club will play in both SuperLiga and Champions League.
