What was the primary reason for NASL's provisional status in 2017?

  • Financial instability

  • Failed to meet criteria

  • Lack of teams

  • Poor attendance

Answer

NASL's provisional status in 2017 was due to its failure to meet the criteria set by the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). These criteria included minimum stadium standards, financial stability, and a youth development program. NASL failed to meet these requirements, which resulted in its provisional status and eventual suspension from the USSF in 2018.
