Soccer America, the oldest soccer-specific media publisher in the United States, was founded in 1971 by Clay Berling in Albany, California. The magazine is headquartered in Oakland, California.
History
The magazine was founded by Clay Berling in 1971 under the name Soccer West. In 1972, the name changed to Soccer America because the magazine had begun fulfilling subscriptions nationwide. A weekly print magazine throughout most of its history, Soccer America was included in the Chicago Tribune's selection of "The 50 Best Magazines" in 2003.{{Cite web|title=Chicago Tribune {{!}} The 50 Best Magazines|url=http://www.burrmediagroup.com/50%20Best%20Magazines/ChicagoTrib_Reason061203.htm|access-date=2021-08-25|website=burrmediagroup.com}}
