  • The American Professional Soccer League (APSL) was a professional men's soccer league with teams from the United States and later Canada. It was formed in 1990 by the merger of the third American Soccer League with the Western Soccer League. It was the first outdoor soccer league to feature teams from throughout the United States since the demise of the North American Soccer League in 1984. The league was sanctioned as Division II in the United States soccer league system but was the country's de facto top professional soccer league until 1995. In 1993, the APSL applied for the vacant Division I role but lost out to Major League Soccer who would begin play in 1996. For its final two seasons in 1995 and 1996, the APSL changed its name to the A-League. It was subsequently absorbed by the emerging USISL organization with six of seven clubs joining the new USISL A-League in 1997. The USISL (later USL) retained the A-League name until 2004 when it became the USL First Division. (en)

  • De originele Amerikaanse A-League (voorheen American Professional Soccer League) was een onafhankelijke Noord-Amerikaanse professionele voetbalcompetitie die bestond tussen 1990 en 1996. In 1990 fuseerden het derde niveau van de American Soccer League met de Western Soccer League tot American Professional Soccer League (APSL). Er werd nog steeds gescheiden gespeeld in een American Soccer Conference en een Western Conference. Pas in de finale speelde de winnaars van beide Conferences tegen elkaar. Nadat in 1993 de failliet was gegaan, traden er drie Canadese elftallen toe. In 1994 werd de APSL de eerste door de FIFA geaccepteerde tweede divisie in Amerika na het faillissement van het tweede niveau van de American Soccer League in 1983. In 1995 veranderde de competitie van naam in A-League en werd in 1996 erkend als hoogste Canadese competitie. Na 1996 fuseerde de A-League met de USISL Select League van de United Soccer Leagues (USL) en ging onder auspiciën van de USL verder onder de naam A-League (die in 2005 omgedoopt werd tot USL First Division).
