Major League Soccer’s board of governors has extended the contract of commissioner Don Garber through the end of the 2027 season.
Garber’s previous deal ran through the 2023 season. Garber, who marked 25 years as commissioner in August, continued to work this season as negotiations moved forward on his new deal. Financial terms of the contract have not been disclosed.
Over the last quarter century, Garber, 67, first helped to keep MLS afloat in 2001 by crafting a business plan for a commercial business called Soccer United Marketing, then expanding the league rapidly into new markets while building out infrastructure via billions of dollars of investment in stadiums and training facilities across the country.
