North American Soccer Football League

The North American Soccer Football League, also known as the North American Football League, was a soccer league that operated for two seasons, 1946 and 1947.

Financial problems reduced the league to five teams in September 1947. The Maroons and Vikings of Chicago were replaced with the Chicago Tornadoes. The remaining teams were the St. Louis Raiders, Pittsburgh Indians, Toronto Greenbacks, and Detroit Pioneers. The Tornadoes were a combination of the best players from the old Vikings and Maroons.
