  • Philly and the US Open Cup Final Posted by Ed Farnsworth on August 13, 2014 at 12:15 Pm
    PHILADELPHIA SOCCER HISTORY / US OPEN CUP Philly and the US Open Cup Final Posted by Ed Farnsworth on August 13, 2014 at 12:15 pm Featured image: The Bethlehem Steel FC victory float after winning their second US Open Cup, then known as the National Challenge Cup, on May 6, 1916. (Photo: University Archives & Special Collections Department, Lovejoy Library, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) Philadelphia teams, both amateur and professional, have a long history of appearances in the final of America’s oldest soccer competition, winning the US Open Cup ten times. The last Philadelphia team to do so was the Ukrainian Nationals in 1966. At PPL Park on Sept. 16 at 7:30 pm, the Philadelphia Union will look to restart that winning tradition. Before the US Open Cup Before the founding of the US Open Cup in the 1913–1914 season, the claim for a national soccer title was held by the American Cup competition, also known as the American Football Association Cup and the American Federation Cup. First organized by the American Football Association in 1885, the competition primarily featured teams from the early American soccer triangle of Northern New Jersey, Southern New York and lower New England. In 1897, the John A. Manz team became the first Philadelphia club to win the American Cup. Tacony won in 1910 with Philadelphia Hibernian losing in the final the following year. In 1914, Bethlehem Steel FC won the first of its six American Cup titles by beating Tacony, who had also lost to Northern New Jersey’s Paterson True Blues in the final the year before.

Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.

  • Sports Franchise Navigates Immigration Law to Bring International Superstar Pelé to the United States
    Sports Franchise Navigates Immigration Law to Bring International Superstar Pelé to the United States By Michael Wildes When the ownership of the revitalized New York Cosmos began considering ways to create excitement about its debut of its franchise in the Major League Soccer league in 2013, one of the most obvious ideas was to embrace its glorious past when the Cosmos rose to national prominence during the late 1970s and early 1980s as part of the North American Soccer League or “NASL.” There was no better way to do that than to bring in the face of that franchise, and the entire NASL for that matter — Pelé. But there was a problem with bringing in Pelé, whose formal name is Edson Arantes Do Nascimento. He would need an “O-1” visa. Because he is a foreign citizen from Brazil, Pelé needed an “assist” from an immigration law firm as he sought to comply with his new employment goals in the United States. As an "Alien of Extraordinary Ability," hired to come to our country to help rebuild the world famous professional soccer team, Pelé was required to secure an O-1 visa in the field of athletics before he was able to begin his employment for the team's front office. U.S. immigration regulations require that certain athletes who desire to work or play for a professional sports team for an extended period of time obtain “O” or “P” nonimmigrant work visas. Athletes like Pelé who are the crème de la crème of their field may pursue an O-1 visa, intended only for those who can demonstrate evidence of extraordinary ability.
