Wichita Wings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The now-defunct Wichita Wings were a professional indoor soccer franchise based in Wichita, Kansas. The Wings became an expansion team of the Major Indoor Soccer League, later known as the Major Soccer League (MSL), on 21 August 1979. They played in the Kansas Coliseum, a venue that featured a 200 by 85 foot field and seating for 9,681 fans. After the MSL folded in 1992, the Wings moved to the National Professional Soccer League. At the time the Wings went out business, after the 2000-2001 season, they were the oldest professional soccer franchise in the United States. Despite having some of the best teams in all of US indoor soccer, the Wichita Wings never won a league championship with the MISL or NPSL. The team hosted the NPSL All-Star Game in 1996 and 1999.
