Darren Eales: NWSL to Atlanta coming “sooner rather than later”

Women’s soccer has arguably never had a higher profile than it does right now. That’s been driven by increased investment worldwide (especially in Europe) and the USWNT winning its second straight World Cup and fourth overall.

Naturally, that will mean an NWSL team in Atlanta, right?

According to an interview by the Atlanta Business Chronicle with club president Darren Eales, an Arthur Blank-owned NWSL franchise may not be imminent, but it doesn’t mean that it’s not out of the question by any stretch.

From our perspective, we haven’t considered a women’s team – yet.
