Toronto Metros-Croatia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Toronto Metros-Croatia were formed in 1975 when the Toronto Metros of the North American Soccer League were merged with Toronto Croatia of the National Soccer League. The team competed in the NASL between 1975 and 1978 and was able to become champion of the NASL by winning the 1976 Soccer Bowl. Following the 1978 season, the team split. The Global Television Network purchased the NASL franchise and entered the 1979 season as the Toronto Blizzard, while Toronto Croatia returned to the National Soccer League.
