SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Loyal will cease operations after their fourth season in the United Soccer League's second-tier League Championship. The team is led by former U.S. star Landon Donovan. Owner Andrew Vassiliadis made the announcement, citing the inability to find locations for a stadium, training facility and academy. The team has played at Torero Stadium, a 6,000-seat venue on the campus of the University of San Diego. First-tier Major League Soccer said in May that San Diego will become its 30th team when the league expands in 2025.
