More than three years after it was selected to receive $23.5 million in state funding, and with construction behind schedule and yet to begin, the plan for a downtown Des Moines soccer stadium is showing signs of life.

Under state law, the Iowa Economic Development Authority board now has until July 1, 2025, to approve the plans. The USL Championship League, the second tier of U.S. professional men's soccer, has granted a franchise for uslproiowa, though plans for the stadium will need to be approved before it becomes official.
