Home > New York Cosmos

The New York Cosmos was a franchise in the North American Soccer League. It was one of the stronger franchises, both athletically and financially, in what was overall a rather marginal league. In its later years it became somewhat renowned for signing the great Brazilian player Pelé, who though at this point well past his prime, was nonetheless one of the team's, and the league's, top gate draws during his tenure with the Cosmos. The NASL folded after the 1984 season, but the Cosmos attempted to operate as an independent team in 1985 before they folded.

The team was also a member of the Major Indoor Soocer League during the 1984-85 season, but withdrew after 33 games due to low attendance.
