On August 2nd, Ibrahimovic spoke about Major League Soccer, expressing that its shackles lie in its excessive rules, and that for further development, it needs to recruit high-level European players, as well as young players with potential.
Regarding MLS’s future prospects, Ibrahimovic said: “MLS is heading in the right direction, but I think the growth is happening too slowly because the league has all sorts of strange rules restricting it. The US will host the 2026 World Cup, which will be a very important event for both the US and American football.”
Messi’s arrival has significantly increased MLS’s attention. However, Ibrahimovic believes that relying solely on big-name players like Messi is not the way to transform MLS: “MLS is still far behind European leagues. Frankly, if MLS wants to develop further, it needs to bring in established European players and promising young stars. You need to build your league from the ground up.”
