US women’s soccer is ready to grow up in a sense, adapting to a new reality of the global game. But are the people in the courtroom and boardroom are ready to grow up as well?
The next 15 months will determine whether the balance of power in women’s soccer will shift to Europe or remain in the United States.
Will US women’s players resolve their lawsuit with US Soccer and sign a collective bargaining agreement that allows players to gain experience with European clubs while also bolstering the NWSL? And would that agreement leave US Soccer with the resources to shore up a faltering player development system and perhaps even pay a men’s team that has gone without a CBA for nearly two years?
