Southern New York State Football Association
During the Soccer War, the USFA brokered the creation of the Eastern Soccer League composed of three teams suspended from the American Soccer League as well as several teams from the Southern New York State Football Association.

Agar then led the SNYFA in leaving the USFA and allying itself with the ASL against the USFA.
