Jeannette Athletic Association F.C. Explained

Jeanette Athletic Association F.C. was an early twentieth century amateur U.S. soccer team from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which had a brief period of national success. In 1923, it won the Pittsburgh Press Soccer League championship and went to the quarterfinals of the 1923 National Challenge Cup[1] and the third round of the 1925 National Challenge Cup.

This club should not be confused with Jeanette F.C. (one “n”) from Michigan which played during the same period.[2]
