The National Independent Soccer Association began its fall tournament this week at Keyworth Stadium, home of Detroit City FC. Over the next couple weeks, they hope to crown a champion from the 8 teams that are participating in the tournament.
The year-old league has been seeking teams to join the league while also fighting with the coronavirus and budgets to keep teams playing in the league. Recently, Oakland Roots announced its plans to join the USL Championship in 2021, while Maryland Bobcats FC, a team which plays in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, along with a Peter Wilt-led Chicago franchise that has yet to be named, filed their application to join the NISA.
