The Jacksonville Armada are getting a new league, returning to the professional ranks and breaking ground on a new stadium.
– The Armada announced Thursday afternoon that they plan to join the MLS NEXT Pro league and start play in 2025. The Armada plan to break ground on their new stadium downtown early next year and have it done in time to start play in 2025. MLS NEXT Pro is considered the third division of pro soccer in the United States and would be a significant step up from the National Premier Soccer League and U-23 team Jacksonville currently fields.
“As owner of the Jacksonville Armada, I serve as the steward of the team for our fans. We have waited patiently for a league to come along that would provide high level competition, stability, and the opportunity to grow. That day is today,” said Palmer. The team started play in the North American Soccer League in 2015, playing their first game in front of a league-record crowd of 16,164 at EverBank Stadium. That was the high mark for Jacksonville. The Armada had constant coaching upheaval and instability.
They have played their games at Patton Park, UNF’s Hodges Stadium and Episcopal School of Jacksonville.
