[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in college, plays in the Ivy League.  Wants to play pro for a few years for fun before going to grad school.  We'll be supporting her so money isn't really the issue.  She is open to living abroad since this is for fun.  Leaving aside visas, how difficult is it (as in what is the level of play) in e.g. the Scottish women's league, Irish women's league, Swiss league, etc.  How do they compare with NWSL teams?  Not looking at Chelsea or Barcelona or that level.         [/quote]

Women’s football in Scotland is mostly amateur, a few have gone professional or semi-pro in the last few years. Fairly sure your daughter would be able to get a team although maybe not pro. Perhaps she could consider combining it with a year of study in Scotland, there are a few very good universities, and that would also resolve visa issues.[/quote]

You know the SWPL 1 qualify directly for the Round of 32 of the UEFA Women's Champions League? They would be playing against PSG and Barca women’s team. Those team would beat the USWNT. Do you actually follow any of the women leagues in Europe? [/quote]
