Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals joining NPSL for 2022 season

One of the most successful clubs in Philadelphia history is the latest expansion team in the National Premier Soccer League. The Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals will join the East Region for the 2022 season, the league announced on Thursday.

“The NPSL holds the same culture and model that our club lives by,” Dan Harmon, the club’s director of soccer development stated in a news release. “This game has given so much to so many. It’s our obligation to give back. There is no better way than a partnership with a like-minded organization like the NPSL.”

Decorated coach Mike Gorni will be the team’s head coach.
