CDNFootballer Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 North American Soccer League Releases 2017 Schedule The league’s split-season schedule will feature a 16-game Spring Season and a 16-game Fall Season. Within each season, every club will play the other seven opponents home and away, plus two additional matchups. The Spring Season Champion and Fall Season Champion will each earn a spot – and semifinal hosting rights – in The Championship, the league’s four-club postseason tournament. The remaining two postseason spots will go to the two clubs that collect the most combined points over the course of the overall 32-game competition (Spring and Fall Seasons). “Over the years, our intense split-season competition has produced the drama and excitement that fans crave,” Sehgal said. “The 2017 season will be no different, and we can’t wait to watch our clubs battle each other week in and week out.” http://www.nasl.com/news/2017/02/06/north-american-soccer-league-releases-2017-schedule- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Watched the final 30 minutes of the San Francisco home opener. Its a nice venue for NASL. However the field seemed very narrow. It looked like the players did not have any space and the game was very choppy as a result. Too bad, as the product could suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikers and Rayo were mentioned as well, a Strikers sale and return to the league would be a big help for the league in its adding of 4 clubs for 2018.

Yes, they had 4100 for their opener so dropped quite a bit. Still early though and they seem to have strong ownership so hopefully they find a way to bring in the fans.
