Major League Futsal USA was the first professional futsal league in the United States. It was founded in 2012 by Rosario Lopez.

History

[edit]

MLF had two divisions (Division of Honor and Division 1) for both men and women. While 35 men's teams and 9 women's teams were listed by the company, 14 of these men's teams and 7 of women's did not play in the 2017 season.

The first exhibition season was played in 2015. A full season was contested in 2016 with a national tournament to conclude the season in August. Safira FC defeated KnowEns Futsal 5-1 in the final to claim the first league title.

Season two saw Detroit-based Waza Flo defeat Oregon Portland United in the championship.
