The Miami Toros played their home games at various venues in the Miami area, including the Orange Bowl. They brought top-level professional soccer to South Florida during a time when the sport was gaining popularity in the United States. The team's name, "Toros," meaning "Bulls" in Spanish, reflected the strong Latin American influence in Miami's culture.
During their run, the Toros provided Miami soccer fans with exciting matches featuring both domestic and international talent. They competed against legendary teams and players in the NASL, including Pelé's New York Cosmos. The Toros had some success on the field, reaching the NASL championship game (Soccer Bowl '74) in 1974, where they narrowly lost to the Los Angeles Aztecs.
The Toros played a crucial role in establishing soccer's popularity in Miami, paving the way for future professional teams in the area. They featured notable players such as Warren Archibald and Steve David, who became fan favorites.
Despite their on-field success and growing fan base, the Toros, like many NASL teams, faced financial challenges. After the 1976 season, the team was sold and relocated, becoming the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
