The club was founded by Robert Kraft, who became the founding investor/operator, marking a significant return of professional soccer to the region after a long absence since the North American Soccer League (NASL) folded in 1984.

Career & Clubs
The early years (1996–2001)
Soccer has a long history in the New England region. In 1862, the Oneida Football Club in Boston was the first organized team to play any kind of "football/soccer" in the United States.

However, each club struggled for financial solvency and folded. The NASL folded in 1984, leaving the United States without a major professional top-level soccer league until Major League Soccer (MLS) began play in 1996. The success of the 1994 FIFA World Cup (with Foxboro Stadium as one of nine venues) paved the way for a new era of sports in the Boston area and to bring professional soccer back to the region. On June 6, 1995, Robert Kraft became the founding investor/operator of the Revolution, joining Major League Soccer (MLS) as one of its 10…
