  History of Soccer in St. Louis
St. Louis soccer grew very early on, and the leagues have been strong from the beginning, but the city also had a very independent tradition, and even after the local association joined the United States Soccer Federation, it remained somewhat aloof, not fully integrating itself into the national body until 1918.
St. Louis clubs were at a disadvantage due to the lack of stability resulting from their reliance on corporate sponsorship rather than the more stable ethnic social organizations prevalent in other metropolitan areas.
Louis finally got its first fully professional soccer team in 1967 as the St. Louis Stars were established as a charter franchise in the National Professional Soccer League.
