Atlanta Chiefs were a professional soccer team which participated in the North American Soccer League (NASL) from 1968-73, and then again from 1979-81. The Chiefs were NASL Champs in their first season of 1968 and runners-up in 1969 and 1971. The Atlanta Chiefs organization will forever be remembered for introducing the game of soccer to the Atlanta metropolitan area. The Chiefs' first coach, Phil Woosnam of Wales, would later become NASL commissioner from 1969 to 1982, a time when the league would experience sustained growth.
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.
