I've merged SISL and USISL to United Soccer Leagues. — Quarl ^{( talk)} 2007-02-28 07:02Z

USL 1 is not the second division as FIFA would qualify it. There is promotion nor relegation so it's just a league that plays at a level below the MLS teams and above USL 2. -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 02:07, 5 February 2009 (UTC) reply

While this is technically true under FIFA standards, it is accepted as the main league underneath the MLS by the USSF. The discussion on why promotion/relegation hasn't been implemented in American/Canadian soccer is better left in private, but obviously FIFA hasn't had too many issues with the way things are run, otherwise I'm sure they would have had discussions with the USSF and CSA by now.

There should be a section like that because there are some large markets up for expansion. San Antonio is one example. The Spurs' owner Spurs Sports & Entertainment, Bexar County, and the USL have talked.-- 72.183.200.78 ( talk) 14:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Actually, there is mention of San Antonio and other cities being interested in hosting USL-1 teams on the USL-1 page. We probably won't have an actual section for it (at least on the general USL page, since it covers four pro/high amateur leagues, plus multiple youth leagues), however there are mentions of it on individual league pages.

Some consideration should be given to adding a section (possibly once the USSF has decided upon a solution) about the revolt by the Team Owners Association, and the recreation of the North American Soccer League. Currently there are only four teams left in the USL1, due to folding, moving down to USL2, or moving to the new NASL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Athos-mn ( talk • contribs) 22:20, 13 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Forget the NASL revolt. Do we retire this article and make a new one for the new USSL-controlled league where the USL and NASL will be nothing more than conferences? -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 02:12, 9 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Well, obviously we don't retire the article, since 1) the league is temporary, and 2) it only affects one of the USL's divisions. USL-2 would still be on the 2010 USL Season page, I'm just trying to figure out whether the link to where the USL-1 league would be would lead to the main USSF D2 page or to a season page for that league.

Will the abbreviated names for USL League One and USL League Two be USL1 and USL2 or USL L1 and USL L2? SportsFan007 ( talk) 15:51, 16 October 2018 (UTC)SportsFan007 reply

They may be, or they may be even shorter. We should not speculate, we should instead wait for the sources to define the common name. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 16:50, 16 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Ah ok, fair enough, thank you for your response!!! SportsFan007 ( talk) 23:37, 16 October 2018 (UTC)SportsFan007 reply

According to their style guide, they shouldn't be abbreviated at all:
