San Diego Nomads
The San Diego Nomads is a U.S. soccer team in San Diego, California.
History[]
The Nomads added a senior team the Western Soccer Alliance in 1986. In 1989, the WSA changed its name to the Western Soccer League and in 1990, the team joined the American Professional Soccer League. In 1990 the WSL merged with the American Soccer League. After winning the WSL championship in 1989, they lost to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the ASL in the 1989 National Pro Soccer Championship. After the 1990 season, the Nomads Club relinquished its senior team due to the financial demands of the American soccer league. The Club continued as an amateur club, which still exists, in the San Diego County.[1]
