New York Cosmos

The New York Cosmos is a professional soccer team based in New York City.

Although the original team folded in 1985, the Cosmos name was revived in 2010 for a new, competitive team that plays in the lower divisions of American soccer. The club is known for its rich history, strong fan base, and efforts to promote soccer's growth in the U.S..
