MLS Commissioner Don Garber signs contract extension through 2027

<p>Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber has signed a contract extension, approved by the MLS Board of Governors, that will keep him in the role through Dec. 31, 2027, the league announced Wednesday.</p><p>The commissioner, who has been in place since 1999, has overseen a tenure of unprecedented growth for the league, which will officially expand to 30 teams next year. Financial terms of his contract were not disclosed.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>MLS has changed exponentially since Garber took over. The league had just 12 franchises when the former NFL executive became Commissioner. And although a few folded in the early 2000s, Garber has overseen vast expansion. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/beckham-messi-expansion-don-garber-changed-mls/bltdd565d82523efaf9" target="_self">Crucial moments of his tenure include the arrival of David Beckham in 2007, Lionel Messi moving to Miami, and the subsequent securing of a bumper Apple TV deal for the league's global broadcast rights.</a></p>
