Pele may not be suiting up, but the NASL is making a comeback.
Organizers announced Monday that the North American Soccer League, the second division men's professional football league, would begin play this spring.
The original NASL lasted from 1968-84 and briefly made a splash with the likes of Pele, Franz Beckenbauer, Giorgio Chinaglia and Johan Cruyff.
The new NASL has nine teams: Carolina RailHawks, Atlanta Silverbacks, Crystal Palace Baltimore, Miami FC, Minnesota Thunder, Montreal Impact, St. Louis Soccer United, Tampa Bay Rowdies and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
The Major League Soccer season ended Sunday with Real Salt Lake scoring an upset win over Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS Cup.
