Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association

The Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association (abbrevriated ISFA) was a sports government body that ruled the practice of college soccer in the United States from 1905 to 1958.

Before the NCAA held its first men's National Collegiate Soccer Championship in 1959, national champions were selected by a committee of the ISFA based on season records and competition. In addition, the College Soccer Bowl tournament was held from 1950–1952 (following the 1949–1951 seasons) for the purpose of deciding a national champion on the field. The Soccer Bowl was a one-site competition involving four teams selected by college soccer administrators. However, the ISFA committee continued to select the national champion in those three years (in 1950 selecting as champion a team that did not participate in the second Soccer Bowl).^[1]
