Atlantic City FC was announced Friday as the first club that will be part of the new NISA Nation competition beginning this fall.
NISA Nation is a new outgrowth of the National Independent Soccer Association and is intended as a pathway for clubs to go from amateur to professional status. The competition will include several regions around the country made of up independent clubs.
For Atlantic City FC, which recently completed its third season in the NPSL and was part of the NISA Independent Cup, NISA Nation will offer an opportunity to play year round while still fielding a summer team in the NPSL.
