'''''Soccer America''''', the oldest [soccer](/source/association_football)-specific media publisher in the United States, was founded in 1971 by Clay Berling in Albany, California. The magazine is headquartered in [Oakland, California](/source/Oakland%2C_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.
