San Francisco’s Historic Soccer League Gets Elite Status
The San Francisco Soccer Football League – America’s oldest soccer league – has been officially recognized as the West Coast’s elite competitive soccer league by the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA).
Now entering it’s 113th year, the SFSFL pre-dates even the mighty FIFA, surviving two world wars and the great depression to champion the growth of soccer in California. None of this would have been possible were it not for dedicated soccer players and fans whose vision was for a not-for-profit league that includes members from the San Francisco Bay Area’s diverse communities.
Like CSAN, the SFSFL is embarking on somewhat of a transformation by introducing new members to its leadership team and embracing social networking technology to service the 21st century soccer player.
Teams like Club Marin and El Farolito bring an increasing level of competitiveness and professionalism to the SFSFL as the game matures to embrace conveyor belt style clubs that have made European soccer systems so successful.
California Soccer Association North congratulates the SFSFL’s leadership team and players for continuing the competitive soccer tradition in our great State.
The new SFSFL Spring season started in March 2015.
