În ciuda faptului că fiecare a primit statutul de afiliat FIFA în 1913, atât Statele Unite, cât și Canada nu au avut până de curând un sistem de fotbal consistent, cu mai multe divizii. În consecință, determinarea campionilor a fost uneori problematică. Statele Unite nu au avut o ligă cu adevărat națională de top până când United Soccer Association, aprobată de FIFA, și „haiducul” National Professional Soccer League, care avea un contract de televiziune, au fuzionat în noiembrie 1967 pentru a forma Liga de Fotbal Nord-Americană (NASL). ). NASL a considerat cele două ligi premergătoare înainte de fuziune ca parte a istoriei sale.
