It’s our first FootyPop of 2024, and we’re starting off the year with a bang. From Gotham FC’s USWNT rebrand to a heartbreaking ACL injury in just the first week of the year, to the upcoming NWSL Draft, we have it all here for you! Keep reading to recap the past week’s women’s soccer news.
High of the Weekend
While everyone was celebrating the holidays and ringing in the New Year, Gotham FC was busy assembling a super team. They signed Crystal Dunn, Tierna Davidson, Rose Lavelle, and Emily Sonnett. Now, they have the most currently rostered USWNT players out of any NWSL team.
They sure have made the off-season exciting, and we can’t wait to see the team come March!
Low of the Weekend
Terrible news rocked the soccer world yesterday. Sam Kerr tore her ACL during Chelsea’s warm weather training in Morocco. It’s absolutely gut-wrenching when any player suffers an ACL tear, but we know that Sam Kerr will do anything to get back to the pitch.
There is one good note to come from Chelsea, however. Catarina Macario seems to be training and running again!
