In 1969 the Oakland Clippers changed their name to the "California Clippers" and moved to San Francisco's Kezar Stadium.   They did not compete in the 1969 NASL season.   They decided to try and survive playing international exhibitions games.  The team was pretty much the same team as the 1968 NASL team.


Unfortunately, the strategy did not work. The Clippers suspended operations on June 4, 1969. They finished with a record of 7 wins, 6 loses, and 2 ties.

Film of the Clippers-Dynamo Kiev game in San Francisco exists. It is obvious from the film that the Clippers had a very good team.  It is a shame they folded.
