NISA Spring Season

edit

NISA Legends Cup

edit

NISA announced initial spring season plans in early February 2021, including starting the season with a tournament in Chattanooga, Tennessee with a standard regular season to follow.[6][7] The tournament, now called the NISA Legends Cup, was officially announced on March 10 and is scheduled to run between April 13 and 25.[8] All nine NISA members teams taking part in the Spring were divided into three team groups and played a round robin schedule. The highest placing group winner automatically qualified for the tournament final, while the second and third highest group winners played one-another in a semifinal to determine a second finalist.

The Force were drawn into Group 3 alongside New Amsterdam FC and tournament hosts Chattanooga FC.

U.S. Open Cup

edit

As a team playing in a recognized professional league, the Force would normally be automatically qualified for the U.S. Open Cup. However, with the 2021 edition shorted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NISA has only been allotted 1 to 2 teams spots.[12] On March 29, U.S. Soccer announced 2020 Fall Champion Detroit City FC as NISA's representative in the tournament.[13]
