The NPSL is sanctioned by the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) as an affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the ruling body for soccer in the United States, and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the world’s ruling body for soccer.

Seems like a very inexperienced resume for a general manager of a soccer franchise. Mr. Goss must come either highly recommended for success or the expectations may be low for succeeding in knoxville.
