'''''Soccer America''''', the oldest soccer-specific media publisher in the United States, was founded in 1971 by Clay Berling in Albany, California. The magazine is headquartered in Oakland, California.
==History== The magazine was founded by Clay Berling in 1971 under the name Soccer West. In 1972, the name changed to Soccer America because the magazine had begun fulfilling subscriptions nationwide. A weekly print magazine throughout most of its history, Soccer America was included in the Chicago Tribune's selection of "The 50 Best Magazines" in 2003.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Chicago Tribune {{!}} The 50 Best Magazines|url=http://www.burrmediagroup.com/50%20Best%20Magazines/ChicagoTrib_Reason061203.htm|access-date=2021-08-25|website=burrmediagroup.com}}</ref>
