Ottawa Fury FC, which suspended operations last month, has sold its USL Championship franchise rights to Miami FC.
The Miami club, owned by Riccardo Silva, is managed by former Ottawa coach and GM Paul Dalglish.
“We had a USL franchise that was not permitted to play in the USL Championship league because it was based in Canada,” Fury FC president John Pugh said in a statement. “After we announced our cessation of operations, discussions took place about our USL franchise rights and things progressed very quickly from there.”
