United Soccer Leagues continues to spur the growth of soccer in North America with the launch of Indoor Professional Soccer (the I-League), a national professional men’s indoor league that is scheduled to begin play in 2011.
None of this is rocket science. But it’s also not open for debate: if you try to give your customers “half” the equation: i.e. cheap tickets, but soccer on a gridiron lines, you’ll fail.
The unrest between the United Soccer League (USL) and the North American Soccer League (NASL) seemed to bring more media attention to the league than ever before.
Most importantly up here, Montreal and Vancouver have a league to play in, and the Voyageurs Cup will go on unhindered.
The U.S. Soccer Federation, United Soccer Leagues (USL) and the North American Soccer League (NASL) have come to an agreement on the formation and operation of a Division 2 professional soccer league for the 2010 season.
USL and NASL release statements concerning US Soccer’s decision to not sanction the new league.
The U.S. Soccer Board of Directors voted unanimously to not sanction either the USL or the NASL to operate a Division II professional league in 2010.
Who in all this blessed world knows if NASL2 actually has the smarts and infrastructure to pull this off?
Florida court documents indicate that the United Soccer Leagues have sued the Rochester Rhinos. Also filed were lawsuits against prospective USL-1 clubs in Tampa Bay and Baltimore.
Real trouble could begin next weekend when the soccer federation meets in Seattle while the USL holds its AGM in Tampa, Florida.
