LA MIRADA, CA (February 4, 2025) – NISA Nation continues to grow in 2025 with the activatition of the combined Arkansas + Tennessee Region.

Multiple clubs have signed agreements to play a Spring Season beginning in March, with space for more clubs to join. The Arkansas + Tennessee Region will feature as many as eight clubs in the Spring Season.

“We've been surprised and heartened by the interest in NISA from both Arkansas and Tennessee, and so we're moving with the concept of a combined region for this Spring Season,” NISA Nation Director Matt Morse said. “With the success and sustainability of the region, more high-level clubs will likely join as we build out regions in both states.”

NISA Nation, a full-year league providing independent clubs a groundbreaking pathway to professional status, launched in 2021 with regions from coast to coast.

The Arkansas + Tennessee Region will feature a group of clubs that include Arkansas Wolves FC, Dream FC, Nashville Knights FC and Tango FC, with more clubs to be announced in the coming days.
