In the wake of the resignation of Bruce Arena and the media call held by Sunil Gulati, the NASL believes this is the perfect opportunity for us to come together as a soccer nation and change things for the better. Since its inception, the NASL has been committed to bringing more soccer to fans, creating opportunities for players, and furthering the overall development of the sport. The NASL agrees with the sentiment that a revolution is necessary to ensure that our national team programs, and soccer at all levels in this country, continue to grow and prosper.

Given the opportunity, the NASL is committed to working with all stakeholders towards achieving those goals.
