The Cosmopolitan Soccer League was formed as the German American Soccer League in 1923. In 1927, the association changed its name to the German American Football Association. While soccer enjoyed widespread popularity during the 1920s, it went into a decline during the depression. By the 1940s, the game had become an ethnic sport and remained that way until the founding of the North American Soccer League in 1968. By the mid 1970s, league officials recognized that in order to maintain the league's viability, it needed to appeal to a wider sports audience. Therefore in 1977, it voted to change its name to the Cosmopolitan Soccer League.
