History
The United Soccer League of PA, originated from "United Soccer", an organization founded in the mid-1950s to sponsor international soccer games in our area. Eventually a few men from the organization came up with the idea to form a "German League". These men had pledged support from the Philadelphia United German-Hungarians, Phoenix SC, and the Vereinigung Erzgebirge. After a few weeks these men had their first open meeting and the preliminary work was done to form the league. A call went out to several other organizations such as Norristown, Allentown, Easton, Bethlehem, Camden, and Reading. In 1959, the idea of a "German League" was dropped and the UNITED SOCCER LEAGUE OF PENNSYLVANIA was founded.
