[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does USL's new womens pro league https://www.uslsuperleague.com fit in all this? 8 teams started playing this year. 8 new teams next year. Well funded and direct new competitor to NWSL.

A lot of the takes here assume all the established players remain the same. I think there is more disruption possible and need to take a wider view what could happen. It seems like if this new league were looking to establish a direct academy to pro model, GA might be a strong partner to create an alternative to the established ECNL-NCAA-NWSL system. The womens pro, college, youth landscape might look very different in a few years.[/quote]

I don’t think it’s going to last long. It’s like having 2 WNBA leagues. 1 league can barely survive how can two?

The NWSL only has a few teams to turn profit. That USL league is forcing their growth instead of having it grow organically. 8 brand new teams for 2025? So a 16 team league in two years…the NWSL has 14 (15 with Boston) and they were founded in 2012.

The truth is most people don’t support women sports (soccer) enough to support two pro leagues. And also the NWSL has all the faces of the US national team. [/quote]
Most likely they will merge at some point. Both NBA and NFL had two leagues at one point and then merged. [/quote]
