The Westport-based Major Indoor Soccer League has shut down after seven seasons, and is considering restructuring.
The league, which has its headquarters at 1175 Post Road East, ceased operations effective Saturday, an announcement said.
“The MISL Management Committee has begun formal transition planning and restructuring as they consider moves, which they believe will help lower costs and attract additional owner/operators,” it said. “A decision on the future structure of the league will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks.”
“We are considering structural changes that will bring us greater efficiencies, while also allowing long term growth and expansion of the league,” said John Hantz, former chairman of the MISL, and owner/operator of the Detroit Ignition.
The end for the league came a few days after commissioner Steve Ryan resigned.
In addition to Detroit, the league had teams this season in Baltimore, Chicago, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Newark, N.J., Orlando, Fla., Stockton, Calif., and Monterrey, Mexico.
