The 1979 Fort Lauderdale Strikers season was the first instance of the new indoor team that eventually played in the North American Soccer League indoor league, starting in the 1979–80 season. It was part of the club's twelfth season in professional soccer. In January 1979 four NASL teams participated in the Budweiser Indoor Soccer Invitational. The teams were the Dallas Tornado, Ft. Lauderdale Strikers, Tampa Bay Rowdies, and Tulsa Roughnecks. The event was held over two days.[1] This year the team finished the tournament in fourth place.
