NASL collapsed in 1984, which saw a return to fragmented regional soccer leagues. As part of the agreement for holding the 1984 FIFA World Cup a North American League (USA & Canada) was formed. MLS Season starts in late February and ends in Mid-October with 34 games. MLS teams are divided into Western and Eastern Conference.
