NATIONAL PREMIER SOCCER LEAGUE

The 'National Premier Soccer League (NPSL)' is an American soccer league recognized by the USSF and FIFA as a Division III league. It is the successor of the Men’s Premier Soccer League (MPSL), a regional league originally based out of the western United States, which has now expanded nationwide to encompass teams from California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Texas and Wisconsin.
The league's motto is ''"A league run by teams instead of teams run by a league"''. Some of the clubs are former United Soccer Leagues (USL) clubs.
The league had its inaugural season in 2003 as the Men's Professional Soccer League (MPSL), an offshoot of the WPSL, and marked the first instance of a women's soccer league had spawned a men's league. The league expanded into the midwest in 2005 with the addition of several new teams and a new conference, and expanded further in 2007 with the addition of a new Northeast Conference and five new teams from the eastern United States.
