There will be two first-division professional women’s leagues in the United States beginning in August, when the USL Super League launches. The Super League’s place in the American soccer landscape was confirmed on Friday, when the league received official sanctioning from U.S. Soccer.
Earlier this week, USL Super League president Amanda Vandervort met journalists to discuss the league’s plans. There are still many questions, some of which will be answered in the coming weeks, Vandervort said. Here’s what we know — and what we don’t, yet — about the USL Super League.
What is the USL Super League?
The USL Super League is a new professional women’s soccer league that will launch in August with eight teams in its first season. Last week, it received official sanctioning from the U.S. Soccer Federation as a first-division league. The National Women’s Soccer League is already a first-division league in the United States that first kicked off in 2013.
