Team – Founded: 1913 – Affiliated: 1914

Confederation: CONCACAF - North, Central American and Caribbean Zone

Squad's local nickname: Yanks (i.e., 'Americans' – the meaning of
the term yank varies according to the context in which it is used:
in an international context, the term will be used to signal
North Americans, in general; within a national context, it usually refers to
the North Americans from the Northern states; but in a yet more
restricted context, this word will be employed in reference to the
New Englanders (New Englanders speak English with an accent of their own
– for ex., they do not roll their r's. New Englanders have comprised what may be called
the 'American aristocracy,' it should be added. Boston is the most well-known
city in New England; the most well-known New Englander, in modern days,
has possibly been former President John Kennedy.)
