The Atlanta Apollos were a One-Year Wonder in the North American Soccer League that competed for just four months between May and August 1973 before closing up shop. The Apollos replaced Atlanta’s previous NASL franchise, the Chiefs, who folded following the 1972 season.
Perhaps the best all-around team in the pioneering Women’s United Soccer Association, the Atlanta Beat were the only club to make the playoffs in all three of the WUSA’s seasons. But they never captured a Founders Cup championship. The Beat advanced to the title match twice, losing Founders Cup I to the Bay Area CyberRays in 2001 and losing the third and final Founders Cup to the Washington Freedom in 2003.
