Jacksonville Generals

The Jacksonville Generals represent a strange footnote from the 1980’s indoor soccer phenomenon. The Generals competed only in a 12-game postseason showcase tournament known as the “Challenge Cup” put on by the American Indoor Soccer Association (AISA) during the late winter and spring of 1988.

A number of former Jacksonville Tea Men of the early 80’s returned to play for the Generals including Arnie Mausser, Ricardo Alonso, Alan Green and head coach Dennis Viollet.
