The 1967 Washington Whips season was the club's first season of existence, participating in the United Soccer Association (USA), which, at the time, was the top division of American soccer. The Whips were an imported team of Aberdeen F.C. of Scotland. They won the USA's Eastern Division and played the Los Angeles Wolves for the title. A coin toss placed the game in Los Angeles, where the Whips, after playing with 10 players for the last 30 minutes, lost on an own goal scored in extra time by Ally Shewan.

Standings

The Whips played the Los Angeles Wolves on June 20, a game that ended in a tie. But the Whips protested because the Wolves were allowed an illegal substitution. On July 6, the commissioner upheld the protest, the game was vacated and a "do-over" was played on July 10. Washington won that match 3-0 thereby winning the division.
