Wikipedia - New York Cosmos B
New York Cosmos B were an American soccer team based in the New York metropolitan area that played in the National Premier Soccer League, the fourth tier of the United States soccer league system, as the reserve team of New York Cosmos.
History
The club was announced on January 15, 2015. On February 10, 2015, Alecko Eskandarian, assistant coach for the senior squad, was named head coach of Cosmos B.
In the club's inaugural season, Cosmos B did not lose a game. On August 8, Cosmos B capped the undefeated season by defeating Chattanooga FC 3-2 at Finley Stadium to win the NPSL national championship. Following the successful season, then-Cosmos Chief Operating Officer Erik Stover stated that while the team was eligible for the U.S. Open Cup, since a new tournament rule at the time only barred professional teams that were majority owned by a higher-level professional league teams from taking part in the competition and not amateur ones, it would not take part and explained that "the integrity of the tournament is more important."
On February 2, 2016, Fernando Barboto was named head coach of Cosmos B. He was replaced by Kevin Anderson for the 2017 season
Following the cancellation of the 2018 NASL season and subsequent lawsuit between the league and the USSF, the New York Cosmos main team went on hiatus while fielding Cosmos B in the NPSL and exploring options for the 2019 season. In the interim, the team named former Cosmos team captain Carlos Mendes as team captain and moved some of the main team's players over to Cosmos B.
With no first team, the group began seeking a berth into the 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup but was originally not permitted to compete in the competition. This was due to the fact that the B hadn't finished the 2017 season in a high enough position to be allocated a spot while the first team had neither a professional league to play in and had been league-less at the deadline set by U.S. Soccer. Following an appeal, Cosmos B was allowed to enter through a play-in round with the Jacksonville Armada FC and Miami FC 2. The team fell to the Brooklyn Italians, 3-2, in the play-in round on May 6, 2018.
On December 13, 2019, the New York Cosmos announced that the team had been admitted into the National Independent Soccer Association for the Fall 2020 season. With the first team playing again, the B team withdrew from the NPSL and was dissolved. Although the Cosmos B had automatically qualified for the 2020 U.S. Open Cup due to its appearance in the NPSL final, no Cosmos team would participate in the tournament.
New York Cosmos B serves as a developmental team for the senior squad, providing opportunities for young and up-and-coming players to showcase their talents and progress in their careers. The team competes in the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA) and other regional leagues, giving players valuable experience and exposure to higher levels of competition.
Known for their dynamic style of play and commitment to developing homegrown talent, New York Cosmos B has a dedicated fan base and a strong presence in the New York soccer community. With a focus on player development and a winning mentality, the team continues to make strides in the American soccer landscape and contribute to the growth of the sport in the United States.
