Minnesota Amateur Soccer League
The Minnesota Amateur Soccer League is an adult amateur soccer league featuring teams from the Twin Cities and the surrounding areas. The league is sanctioned by the United States Adult Soccer Association, an affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation.

History
Founded in 1953 as the Minnesota Soccer Association, the Minnesota Amateur Soccer League (MASL) is the oldest soccer association in Minnesota.

The state’s only sanctioned competitive soccer league for men changed its name to MASL in 1987 when the Minnesota Soccer Association (MSA) became Minnesota’s umbrella organization for adult soccer. In addition to MASL, Minnesota Soccer Association now includes the American Premier League (APL), Duluth Amateur Soccer League (DASL), Minnesota Recreational Soccer League (MRSL), Southern Minnesota Amateur Soccer Association (SMASA), Minnesota Senior Soccer League (MSSL) and the Minnesota Women’s Soccer League (MWSL).

The MSA, which began with four teams, spent its first 15 years as the only governing soccer body in Minnesota that was affiliated with the U.S. Soccer Federation. In 1968, a new youth soccer association, the Minnesota Junior Soccer Association, joined the MSA.

MASL has 41 teams and remains the premier amateur soccer league in the state. This prevalence is due in part to the strong reputation around the state and country as well as the vast number of MSA Hall of Fame members that continue to support the league.
