Bill Peterson Biography

The North American Soccer League announced today that Bill Peterson will take over as the league’s new commissioner. Peterson took control of the league on November 19 after a 45-day search which was set in motion after former league commissioner David Downs announced his early resignation on October 5th something the league knew about well before his formal announcement to the public. The NASL held off announcing Peterson’s appointment until today because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Peterson has been involved in sports from a young age. He grew up playing American football and was even a free agent linebacker in 1987 with the Los Angeles Raiders.
He started working in the business side of sports when he was just 27 years old going to work for the NFL Europe League and spent 10 years living abroad. He was Football Operations Director for the Frankfurt Galaxy General Manager of the Amsterdam Admirals Director of Football Development for the league Managing Director of NFL Europe and eventually become the President of the league.
Why might a former NFL player and president of NFL Europe be a good choice to run the 2-year-old North American Soccer League? A closer look at Peterson’s experiences clarifies why executives from the NASL fingered the former American football man for the job.
