According to The Athletic, Sacramento, California, is gearing up to launch an NWSL expansion team.
Last fall, the city hinted at launching a team — and came so close to closing on the deal. But with the arrival of the horrid 2020 year, the league decided to hold off on any and all potential expansion teams and keep the league at nine teams.
The summer transfer window is open and will stay open for the next few months. Huge signings and huge sums of money have been spent on the men's side, and I’m sure most of us know the ins and outs of the men's transfer market.

So the NWSL Challenge Cup ended almost a month ago. Fans are coming down from the thrill of the games and champions Houston Dash are now barely recovering from their Budweiser hangovers.

OL Reign has announced that it acquired the future playing rights of Washington Spirit midfielder and USWNT standout Rose Lavelle. In exchange, the Spirit will receive the Reign’s first round draft pick in the 2022 NWSL College Draft and $100,000 in allocation money.
The NWSL is set to have two upcoming expansion teams in the league — one in Louisville, Kentucky, and one in Los Angeles. Both teams have stirred up quite a bit of excitement from fans.
Manchester City has signed United States' World Cup-winning midfielder Sam Mewis from National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) side North Carolina Courage, the English club said on Monday.
The 27-year-old, who helped the U.S. national team capture the World Cup in France last year, is Women's Super League (WSL) side City's second signing of the transfer window following the arrival of Chloe Kelly from Everton.
Now more than ever people are feeling isolated and alone. Covid — no matter how much of a denier you are — is STILL raging on and separating people. Staring at Zoom screens and text messages every day takes away the warmth of human contact. It gets lonely.
That is how 81-year-old Bill Bullock felt. His story is heart wrenching.
"There must be something about it [soccer] that binds us."
Carson Pickett is exactly what fans expect out of a women’s soccer player in the NWSL. Whether she is putting in work on the field or putting in work to advocate for limb difference awareness, Pickett is a great role model.
Pickett became largely known when a photo of her with a young boy went viral on Twitter.
Alex Morgan has done it all. She’s won two Women’s World Cups, one Olympic gold medal, one NWSL championship and one Champions League trophy. Now she’s being immortalized with the Alex Morgan Barbie doll.
