Notes

edit
  1. ^ Although Princeton states to have fielded its first soccer team in 1906,[1] the first de facto college football game held in 1869 between Ruters and Princeton Universities (with rules based on The Football Association)[2][3][4] is considered the first "not official" collegiate soccer match and the birth of the sport in the United States.[5][6][7]
