One of the first interviews I ever did was with John Kowalski, former head coach of the Tampa Bay Mutiny and Pittsburgh Riverhounds. In it, he stressed the importance of teams owning their own stadiums as being one of the most important things a team could do to ensure long-term viability.
It’s an amazing stadium and team. So much heart from the team and fans. Every NWSL team should have its own stadium.
The stadium for the Kansas City Current -- whose construction 40 banks refused to finance because there had never been a professional stadium built for a women's team -- just finished its second consecutive season of sold-out games.

There are so many lessons from tonight that are giving me hope, and I hope they aren’t lost on anyone thinking of running. Authenticity works. Loving where you’re from works. Respecting the agency, dignity, and immutable humanity of your constituents works. Showing up for your neighbors works.

Wanna hold on to this one for the next time some dude (it'll 100% be a dude) starts talking about how women's sports are charity and shouldn't be on equal footing with men's soccer.
North Carolina FC makes it official.

Owner Steve Malik: "Right now, it’s essential that we focus our immediate resources and energy on strengthening the foundation for professional soccer in Raleigh by continuing to invest in the Courage and resetting our men’s strategy for the future."
BREAKING: USL Championship side North Carolina FC informs players they will not be fielding a team in 2026, per sources.

NCFC have a playoff game on Saturday. Sources expect club will finish playoff run.

Players with contracts now end after two months.
