Republic FC Urging Fans To Get Involved In Its MLS Expansion Campaign

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Sacramento Republic FC is urging fans to get more involved in its major league soccer expansion campaign.

The soccer team is asking fans to take to social media to promote the team's success because MLS officials are always paying close attention to social media trends.

Team owners say they're doing their part by staying in contact with MLS officials.
"They've told us that we've answered all their questions. We continue to dialog with them, ask ideas, share some thoughts, but they'll get back with us later in the year once they've made that decision," said Warren Smith, Republic FC President/Founder.

Mayor Kevin Johnson, team owners and business leaders are developing a strategy to keep Sacramento on the MLS' radar.

There is talk of the league eventually expanding beyond its 24 teams.
