ASU Soccer: Decision time coming for ASU FC

For Arizona State’s men’s club soccer team, or ASU FC, a decision looms.

The spring season is quickly approaching and the club needs to choose which league it will be playing in.

"For the spring, we are looking to either join the UPSL (United Premier Soccer League) again or join the WCSA, West Coast Soccer Association," club president Jason Johnston said. "We have not officially decided which league we are going to join, but there will be ASU FC soccer this spring."

Not only do the two leagues differ in opposition, but they also differ when it comes to rules. As the UPSL is affiliated with FIFA, the world governing body of football, they operate by the same general rules as FIFA, which are generally stricter than those of the WCSA. The WCSA is an association strictly made up of college teams, and is not affiliated with FIFA.
