West Ham USA

West Ham according to various sources this weekend are looking to set up their own team in the United States. West Ham are looking to establish a team in United Soccer League One, America's equivalent of the Championship.

There are rules about individuals owning more than one club. However Francisco Marcos, president of the USL, claims West Ham will not be contravening rules. He said,

"FIFA rules only state that owners cannot have two clubs or teams competing in the same competition, so there's no problem here."
