This regional professional soccer league was established in 1964 as an off- season playing opportunity for teams from the ASL II and the New York-based German-American semi-pro league. Boston Metros, New York Inter, Newark Ukranians and the Ukranian Nationals of Philadelphia were from the ASL II, and the rest of the teams were from the German-American League. The concept apparently did not work well, as the league folded immediately afterwards. 1964-65 G W T L GF GA PTS North Division BW Gottschee 16 9 1 6 27 22 19 German-Hungarians 14 8 2 4 37 27 18 Giuliana 15 6 5 4 31 26 17 New York Hungaria 15 7 3 5 34 29 17 Boston Metros 13 5 3 5 24 21 13 Newark Ukrainian 15 1 2 12 13 42 4 South Division New York Ukrainian 15 9 3 3 33 12 21 New York Inter 16 8 5 3 31 28 21 Ukrainian Nationals 14 7 5 2 30 14 19 New York Hota 15 6 5 4 21 17 17 New York Americans 16 4 4 8 21 34 12 Greek-Americans 13 3 3 7 21 30 9 Minerva-Pfuelzer 17 3 1 13 15 36 7 The league folded immediately after its inaugural season, and the clubs continued to play in their respective leagues.
