Recently it was announced by Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber that the league
had purchased Chivas USA from owners Jorge Vergara and Angelica Fuentes.
Vergara, an owner of the MLS franchise since it’s inaugural season in 2004, and
Fuentes joining the ownership team in 2012, can now lay to rest the the running-joke of the MLS. Chivas USA, based in
Cason, California, will now maintain ownership by MLS until the league can
select an appropriate replacement. Effective immediately, the league will
assume all club operations.
