Wisconsin Soccer Central

Nov. 17, 1929: As part of a triple-header of matches at Borchert Field, home of Major League Baseball's Milwaukee Braves, a crowd of 2,000 saw Mannheim edge Hamburg 1-0 in the first sanctioned youth soccer match in Wisconsin history. The teams were part of the new Wisconsin State Football Association Junior League, which also included Bremen. The adult games on the day saw the Wisconsin All-Stars tie their Illinois counterparts 4-4 and Milwaukee's Hungarian AC blank the State League All-Stars 1-0.
