If all goes as planned, beginning next August, two Lexington professional soccer teams will play in a 55-hundred seat stadium near I-75 off Athens Boonesboro Road. Tuesday, the Lexington Sporting Club held a news conference. One of the speakers was Amanda Vandervort, the president of the United Soccer League’s Super League, a womens’ league. She said the complex will be popular with players and fans of all ages.
“That includes the youth. That includes the W league team, which launched this summer, which is women's pre professional soccer. And then of course, the pro league. that's not just special here in Lexington that really is a special institution, youth to pro pathway.”
