  Chicago Sting were a professional soccer teamfounded by Lee Stern in 1975, merging the previous local soccer legacies into a long-term franchise. The franchise cultivated strong ties to the community and progressively improved, qualifying for the 1976 playoffs. In Soccer Bowl ’81, the Sting upset the New York Cosmos to become champs. The team would go on to win a second league title in 1984 by defeating the Toronto Blizzard. After the ’84 season, the NASL dissolved, with the Sting continuing play in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL).

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.
