The New York Cosmos (1971–1985), known as the Cosmos for the 1977 and 1978 seasons, was a soccer franchise based in New York City and its suburbs in the North American Soccer League from 1971 to 1984. Founded by brothers Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegün and Warner Brothers President Steve Ross, it was the strongest NASL franchise, competitively and financially.
It is known for signing the great Brazilian player Pelé who, though past his prime, was the team's and the league's top attractions during his time with the Cosmos. After the NASL folded, the Cosmos attempted to operate as an independent team in 1985 but also ceased activity.
