INDEPENDENCE, Missouri (May 19, 2014) - The Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) was officially announced today during a press conference in Baltimore, MD. The new league, consisting of professional indoor soccer teams from the Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL) and the former Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), was formed to create a new super-league. The MASL will begin play this fall when the Dallas Sidekicks face off against this past season's MISL Champions, the Missouri Comets on Saturday, October 25th at the Allen Events Center.

The new league will feature the top professional indoor teams in the United States and Mexico. The 24-team league will be divided into four 6-team divisions based on geography. Each team will play 10 home games and 10 road games. Three teams from each division will make the playoffs.
