Earlier this year the MLS confirmed that San Diego would be the site of the league’s latest expansion club, taking the total number of teams to 30.

That announcement was the culmination of years of work to bring a top flight team to the area. The team is slated to begin life in MLS in 2025 and fans are starting to get a look at the new addition to the league.

On Monday club officials announced details of the team’s state-of-the-art training facility. The club unveiled plans for a 28-acre facility on a tribal reservation in El Cajon, California. San Diego’s training ground will be the first US professional sports team to erect a training base on tribal land.

The 125,000 square-foot campus will include a 50,000 square-foot sports performance center and a Right to Dream residential youth academy. There will be five full-sized pitches at the facility, three with natural turf and two with synthetic surfaces.
