The Premier Arena Soccer League (PASL) was a professional men's and women's indoor soccer league; along with a number of amateur teams across North America. The PASL was previously known as the Federation of Sports Arenas (FSA).{{cite web | url=http://www.arenaleague.com/ | title=FSA | publisher=arenaleague.com | access-date=August 1, 2017 | url-status=bot: unknown | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991011211004/http://www.arenaleague.com/ | archive-date=October 11, 1999 }} The PASL logo formerly belonged to what is now the Major Arena Soccer League.
Established in 1998, the PASL has been at the forefront of promoting and advancing the sport of indoor soccer for over 25 years. The league provides a platform for talented athletes to compete at the highest level and has played a crucial role in the growth of indoor soccer across the country.
PASL is an affiliated member of the Pan-American Minifootball Federation and the World Minifootball Federation. In 2024, the PASL was acquired by Auden Enterprises
