The Cleveland Internationals are an American soccer organisation, originally founded in 1976 by a group of soccer players who graduated from college, and who still wanted to play competitive soccer. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and play in the Great Lakes Division of the Central Conference against teams from Chicago, Detroit, Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids, South Bend and Toronto.
The Internationals play their home ganes at Coughlin Field on the grounds of St. Edwards High School in the city of Lakewood, Ohio, 6 miles west of downtown Cleveland. The team's colors are white and blue.
Today, in addition to the PDL team, the Internationals organisation maintains clubs in the USL W-League and the Super Y-League, as well as more than 22 youth soccer clubs.
