Detroit Cougars (soccer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Detroit Cougars were a soccer team based out of Detroit, Michigan that played in the United Soccer Association. The league was made up of teams imported from foreign leagues. The Detroit club consisted of players from Glentoran F.C. from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Following the 1967 season, the USA merged with the National Professional Soccer League to form the North American Soccer League with the teams from the former USA having to create their rosters from scratch. Their home field was Tiger Stadium.
