“Soccer Master is excited to support the NISL, as the league will give a unique opportunity for both young men and women to show their talents,” explained Soccer Master Owner/President David Brcic, who also had quite the professional playing career in both outdoor and indoor. “As we have done for over 40 years, we will continue to do our part in helping the sport we love grow and flourish from the youth, amateur and professional levels.”

David was a fantastic goalkeeper in the North American Soccer League and Major Indoor Soccer League, playing for the New York Cosmos NASL team (1977-1984) and then indoors for the Wichita Wings (1984-85), Pittsburgh Spirit (1985-86), LA Lazers (1986-87), Kansas City Comets (1988-89), and the St. Louis Storm (1989-90).

In 2009, Soccer Master acquired the top-rated online internet soccer retailer SoccerPro.com, as a sister company to Soccer Master. The NISL will be able to offer merchandise for its member teams to all fans world-wide through its online store. 

“We’re absolutely thrilled to partner with Soccer Master,” stated NISL Special Consultant, Brian Roth, who assisted in closing the partnership. “I’ve dealt with David and his staff at Soccer Master for many years on different levels, both individually and professionally with the KC Comets and St. Louis Ambush, and I’m very familiar with what they do and the hard work they put in, in order to be successful. I’m extremely confident our member teams will be in great hands with Soccer Master and we look forward to long-lasting relationship with them.”
