1986 THE FOUNDATION

Before the turf stadiums, the digital match centers, and the massive prize pools, there was just the love of the game. Founded as the United Soccer League by Francisco Maldonado and his brothers in the gritty heart of 1980s Los Angeles County, our front office was built by players, for players.

In August of 1988, that foundation was cemented. In a brutal, late-night final under the lights of Jordan High School, the squad captured the Independent League Federation Championship. Securing a 7-6 penalty shootout victory, the team earned headlines in La Opinión. That championship DNA became our standard. We didn't just host games; we built an institution.

2026 THE EVOLUTION

Four decades later, the game has changed, but the standard remains. Rebranded as the All Star Soccer League (ASL), we have evolved from our Paramount and Long Beach roots to become the premier adult soccer ecosystem in the Inland Empire, Orange County, and Los Angeles.

We saw what the local 'park leagues' had become—disorganized, chaotic, and lacking respect for the players who fund them. So, we're rewriting the rules. We digitized the front office, and for our ELITE Divisions, we mandated sanctioned 3-man referee crews, secured premium stadium facilities, and are introducing the highest-paying, free-to-enter divisions in Southern California.

THE ASL MISSION

"To provide an uncompromising, professional-tier soccer experience for the everyday player. No park league chaos. Pure prestige, strict enforcement, and elite competition."
