  • North American Chinese Soccer League – A Brief History

    By Shangyou Scott Zhang, szhang@udel.edu

    Since 1983, each year, about ten thousands Chinese students come to study in USA , and many settled down after graduation. Among these students, many love to play soccer and many are excellent soccer players. Most were good players in their school teams in China when they were undergraduate students. Hundreds, if not thousands of teams were formed by these students from China on many campuses since 1985. As NACSL records show, since 1986 many friendly soccer games were played between Chinese student soccer teams of nearby campuses. By 1990, regional soccer tournaments were organized which were participated by four to six teams within driving distance — around 300 miles.

    A couple miles from Boston Marathon’s finish line in front of Boston Public Library, Boston Red Sox was shut out by Tempa Bay Rays in the annual 11 O’clock Patriot’s Day game in Fenway Park. This year also marks the 100 year anniversary of Fenway Park.
