The 2014 National Premier Soccer League season was the 102nd season of FIFA-sanctioned soccer in the United States, and the 12th season of the NPSL. The season began in May 2014. RVA Football Club are the defending champions, having won their first NPSL title the previous season.
A format and schedule has not yet been announced for the 2014 season. It is anticipated that a double-round robin format will be used by most or all conferences as has been used in the past. Until the final roster of clubs is announced a format likely will not be made available.
The league will add a new Northwest Conference in the West Region in 2014. The league also has split the Great Lakes Conference into two separate Conference, Great Lakes East and Great Lakes West. The Mid-Atlantic Conference has been split in two with teams from Virginia and Maryland staying within the Conference and moving to the Northeast Region (including defending Champion RVA Football Club) and the remaining teams forming the new South Atlantic Conference. The Atlantic Conference was also renamed the North Atlantic Conference. The following changes regarding team relocation, rebranding, or expansion are effective for the 2014 NPSL season:
The Region held its Annual General Meeting in New York, NY on January 19 at the New York Athletic Club. The region will have a third conference for the first time, with the Mid-Atlantic Conference joining the Region. The Atlantic Conference was also renamed the North Atlantic Conference.
The conference will include 7 teams spread across 6 different states for the 2014 season with the addition of expansion club Greater Lowell United FC. Kabba Joof, Head Coach of Rhode Island Reds FC will serve as the Conference commissioner. The maximum travel distance for the season will be between Seacoast United Mariners and the New York City area clubs at just over 300 miles. The Conference was called simply the Atlantic Conference in previous seasons.
