In this episode, we take a look at the launch, success and legacy of the original Atlanta Chiefs, the first professional soccer club in the city and the first professional sports team to win a championship for Atlanta.

Former players share their memories of what it was like to play soccer in the United States during that time. We also look at how two friendly matches against English powerhouse Manchester City paved the way for the sport in the city, and how hosting Brazilian club Santos and Pelé brought Atlanta to the global stage.

Listen to Atlanta Chiefs, Part 1 and wait for Part 2 coming in the next few weeks. Subscribe and review so we can continue to reach more Atlanta soccer and history fans.
