Italian American Soccer League of New York
The Italian American Soccer League of New York(IASL) was founded in 1958. The league was started to give Italian immigrants an opportunity to play organized soccer here in the New York City area. The league has grown tremendously and is still in existence today. The league has had teams and players from all European, Latin, Caribbean, and Asian backgrounds.

For the last 9 years the IASL has sponsored the NY Stars Soccer Team, and given the opportunity to many New York and New Jersey kids to participate in the very prestigious Viarreggio Tournament(Torneo di Viarreggio or Coppa Carnivale) held in Italy annually. This is one of the most acclaimed youth tournaments in all of the world. Many of the top players in the world have played and continue to play in this tournament. In Feb. 2010, the goalkeeper Angelo Viteritti went on trial with Chievo Verona and Parma. He was offered a contract with Chievo Verona of Serie A (Italy's top league). The league is looking to grow on its recent success and add a U16 and U 14 team as well. The NY Stars website www.nystarssoccer.com.
