TAMPA, FL - United Soccer Leagues issued the following elaboration regarding Wednesday morning's CKAC (Montreal) radio interview with USL CEO Alec Papadakis concerning the status of USL-1 teams.

"While the statements made in the earlier interview are accurate in that we have ceased negotiations with the Team Owner's Association (TOA) as a group, we remain in dialogue with certain individual TOA teams about their possible participation in USL-1 for 2010. We are open to the return of the Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps to USL-1 for 2010; however we continue to move forward with our preparations for next season, which includes a meeting of team owners and league officials next week in Beaverton, Oregon."
