Dear USL Fans,

On behalf of everyone at the USL, I would like to personally thank you for the major contribution each of you has made to what has been a banner season for the league. As we celebrate the holiday season, we have all had the chance to reflect on the incredible past year we have experienced within the league, both on and off the field. All the achievements over the past 12 months have continued to reinforce the league’s growing reputation both in the United States and Canada, and overseas.

Beginning in January, when the USL received Division II sanctioning by the U.S. Soccer Federation, our growing momentum allowed us to reach more viewers, and welcome more fans to our venues than any Second Division in North American soccer history. The remarkable support you bring to our clubs – especially those of you in the supporters’ groups we see week-in and week-out that provide a tremendous atmosphere to the league’s games – invigorates all of us to push for even higher levels of achievement in the future as we continue to bring professional soccer to the passionate fanbases from coast to coast.
