RANCHO CORDOVA, CA – The Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) league owners have voted unanimously to award two expansion teams to the Sacramento-Cordova region, adding both a men’s and a women’s team for MASL and MASLW, respectively.
The proposed Cordova Arena would expect to facilitate sports, concerts, and community events in Rancho Cordova, including hosting the new Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) teams, according to a press release from KozPure, a real estate developer involved with the project.
"Bringing a Major Arena Soccer League team to Rancho Cordova means our new arena will be anchored by one of the most exciting, high-energy sports around. Arena soccer is fast, fun, and built for families, and fans across the region are going to love it,” said Charanjeet Tiwana-Purewal, Co-Founder, the President of KozPure Development said in a press release. “This team will not only fill the arena with excitement, but also spark new life in the surrounding development, creating a destination for sports and entertainment that Rancho Cordova can be proud of."
A report by the City of Rancho Cordova outlines the stadium’s potential market feasibility, economic impact, community benefits and overall development proposal. As part of the Economic Development Participation Agreement Terms (EDPA), seven projects composed the proposal.
The seven projects include a 7,500-seat arena with integrated luxury seating; two or more full-service, four-star hotels with a minimum room count of 800; farm-to-fork dining and retail spaces; a cardroom; structured, transit-oriented parking; and a public plaza with other amenities, according to the city’s report.
Expected to debut in Fall 2027 at the pending new Cordova Arena, select MASL games will be broadcast on the CBS Sports Golazo Network. The arena is part of a larger vision to create a vibrant destination that drives economic growth and brings people together through year-round entertainment.
The proposal includes specific commitments, according to the report, including a 35-year term of agreement, a cardroom tax and shared revenue proceeds with the master developer.
The most significant revenue source from the project is expected to be the Transient Occupancy Tax, estimated at $500,000 to $600,000 annually. Over a 12-year period, more than 35,000 jobs and roughly $4.5 billion will be generated in output from maintaining the arena, mixed-use, hospitality services and construction activities, according to the city’s report.
Together with the MASL, KozPure will harness the region’s ingrained passion for sports, showcase the excitement of arena soccer, and build a new community of fans in Rancho Cordova and throughout Northern California, according to a KozPure press release.
"Rancho Cordova is an incredible market for the Major Arena Soccer League," said MASL Commissioner Keith Tozer. “Fans in this region have a long history of supporting their teams and an undeniable passion for soccer that continues to grow year after year. With strong and committed ownership in KozPure, we know this team is built on a solid foundation. The new arena and surrounding development will provide a first-class home for both the team and the community, creating one of the most exciting environments in our league. We can’t wait to see MASL action come to Rancho Cordova.”
