U.S. SOCCER FEDERATION – What’s in a name?
Throughout the 90-year history of U.S. Soccer, the organization has been known by three different names:

    U.S. Football Association - 1913-1944
    U.S. Soccer Football Association - 1945-1973
    U.S. Soccer Federation - 1974-Current  




Derivation of the word

The word was derived from Association Football, which was the original term given to the game in the 1860s at the elite schools that spawned the sport in England. The abbreviation “Assoccer”, which became “soccer,” was used by the British upper classes of that period. When the sport was embraced by the less fortunate, the name of “soccer” was passed down. But most commoners used the word “football” to describe their new game. Nowadays, from the British Royal Family down to the passionate supporters in the terraces at Anfield (Liverpool FC), Old Trafford (Manchester United), or Stamford Bridge (Chelsea FC of London), the game is called football. Or “footy.”
