Chicago Mustangs played in the North American Soccer League (NASL) during the initial season of 1968. The Mustangs, who only lasted for one season in the NASL, had come from the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL), who merged with the United Soccer Association (USA) to form the NASL. The Mustangs failed to qualify for the playoffs during the 1968 NASL Season, drawing only 2,500 fans per home game at Comiskey Park. Shortly after the season, the team folded and became yet another casualty of the NASL.
North American Soccer League (NASL) was a professional soccer league which operated from 1968 to 1984, popularizing the sport in the United States and Canada. The NASL received substantial attention by attracting major international stars such as Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Gerd Muller and George Best, which assisted in elevating the profile of soccer in geographic locales dominated by other team sports.
During its peak in the late '70s and early '80s, the NASL fielded teams in virtually all major North America cities, laying down the groundwork for awareness and growth of professional soccer on the continent. The trailblazing league was integral in establishing a foundation for the Major League Soccer (MLS), which launched in 1996, and has since gone on to become the premier soccer league in the region.
