History

Historical Context

Established in 2012, the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) succeeded previous leagues like Women's Professional Soccer, which folded in 2012. The NWSL began with eight teams, including the Boston Breakers and Chicago Red Stars, and has since expanded to 12 teams by 2024. This growth reflects increasing support for women's sports in the U.S., highlighted by the success of players like Rose Lavelle.
