Out of the provisional "Central conference", the National Premier Soccer League have created an official "North conference. For a conference wide update, check out NPSL Northerner or NPSL themselves Of most import to me, Dakota Fusion are one of the newcomers. Here's their press release: BREAKING NEWS FOR NORTH DAKOTA SOCCERWORLD No need to shout, DF. Dakota Fusion Becomes Full Member of the NPSL . Dakota Fusion FC is excited to announce that it will join the NPSL beginning in the summer of 2017. Seems fair so far. DFFC is the first locally owned semi-professional soccer club in Fargo, ND. I'm not gonna let this slide. It is a snide and ultimately empty "first" because FC Fargo were the first competitive outdoor amateur team in Fargo-Moorhead. Semi-Pro isn't actually a thing in the US system. You are either professional (MLS, USL, NASL - at time of writing) or amateur (everything else) Launched by Amanda and Sajid
