Don Garber has been Commissioner of Major League Soccer since 1999 and it\u2019s no exaggeration to suggest he has been fundamental to the growth of soccer across the US. (Interview begins at 10 mins 30 seconds).<\/h4>\n

The league is now a thriving 23-team entity, there\u2019s a genuine and unique football fan culture in cities across the States, and the sport has been transformed into a commercial proposition of genuine heft and global significance.<\/p>\n

Leaders CEO Jimmy Worrall sat down with Garber at the league\u2019s New York headquarters during Leaders Week in the Big Apple back in May, a few short weeks before the US, Mexico and Canada were awarded the right to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n
